Hello folks,
This is what i have been thinking about. For long. "Committership in specified duration". For example, "Log4XXX" (New Project) needs some committers in order to improve the quality of the codebases rapidly and reliably, it seems. (Patching, patching ... would dampen developers/contributors spirits, especially in early stages) In such a case, how about allowing people to ask "Mr. XYZ -- Committership privilege for *three* months only"... Clear declaration of the *termination* period would bring nice results in the incubation process (going out), codebase, etc. If incubation might succeed, Mr.XYZ would be able to obtain "formal" committership lawfully. :) ... Even though fail, ZOMBIE committers (and zombie projects?) would never be increased. :) I am sure that this can solve most of the problems in incubator project... :) Also, if you will apply "committership in specified duration" system to incubator associated projects only, motivation to be baptized in incubator project would be increased dramatically. Anyone will be happy. Yay. This idea is based upon "Less Restrictive Alternatives" policy. Happy incubation.
