Hi all. I'd like to propose the following addition to the "How to become an Approver" section on http://qt-project.org/wiki/The_Qt_Governance_Model:
"Nomination for Approver status requires contribution or maintenance of a significant amount of code, or comparable activitities directly attributable to the nominee. The attributable activities should typically exceed N lines of new, or M lines of changed code, or P hours of activities on behalf of the project." N, M, and P are open for discussion, as well as the wording, here, and perhaps at the Summit. I understand that "Lines of Code" is an extremely bad measure for almost everything, but given that we talk about a project in the seven digits number of LOC, expecting N, M, and P, in the, say, three, four, and two digits range respectively does not appear overly unreasonable to me. On a related note, I also think it would be sensible to move the barrier of entrance to "Handle JIRA" into the opposite direction. Triaging issues or verification of fixes are definitely tedious and reputable activities, but I don't think they necessarily need preceding contributions, nor long term dedication.
