Summary: Provide easy way to vote new PMC members and committers
Key: WHIMSY-358
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-358
Project: Whimsy
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Roster
Reporter: Craig L Russell
It should be easy for PMC members to elect new committers and PMC members. The
roster tool already provides for making changes to the PMC roster via simple
push-button. But there is no provision for electing new PMC members or
committers.
The roster for a PMC should provide new buttons to initiate votes, vote, and
close votes. The buttons should only be available to existing PMC members.
To initiate a vote, a new screen allows the nominator to enter the full name,
optional github id, optional apache id, and a paragraph of why this nominee
should become a PMC member or committer. Email is sent to the private list with
a link to the PMC roster so PMC members can vote. All current votes are listed
when PMC members visit the roster page.
To vote, a new screen allows any PMC member to view all comments and to vote.
The vote is recorded in a file keyed on the PMC name and the full name of the
nominee.
To close a vote, a new screen allows the nominator to record success or failure
of the vote. Success for a PMC member sends email to the board, cc the PMC
list, and starts the 72 hour timer.
When the 72 hour timer expires, a new button appears which allows any PMC
member to finalize the process, update LDAP and committee-info.txt, and send
email to the PMC list.
