Trust related to what? Keep in mind that Committer != PMC member, which is an important distinction (even if some think otherwise). And the person should be considered more trustworthy than most with respect to making patches, given that they are the contributors of the code in the first place. They do need to do is become indoctrinated in the community, and if it is just a committer or few at a time into an entire community, Apache Commons ought to be able to handle that. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
