I'm not certain I've got a crisp answer. I'm also not looking to make any quick changes. See this thread, for example, of prior work along these lines: https://s.apache.org/75Pb For the short term, what I am asking is that since committers are notified of changes (good!) that the default not be that all IPMC members are committers for all podling repositories. --- Longer term, I'm looking to establish a canonical locate for all of our records, be it LDAP, text files, whatever. If there are multiple locations of record, find ways to ensure that they are in sync, if that is at all possible. An example: https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/members Click twice on status, and you will see a handful of exceptions where LDAP doesn't match members.txt. These exceptions are intentional. Separately, I'm trying to make the whimsy roster tool an interface to find (and over time, change) these records. Note that I said "an interface", others are possible. --- More specific to the incubator, I'm proposing that we maintain in LDAP a list of members in each podling (including mentors) and use that list to drive everything from phonebook to commit access in gitbox to who can view what mailing lists in ponymail to JIRA. Having a common place to administer the roster for a podling just seems like a good idea. I encourage people to explore https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/ppmc/ and to update the membership of podlings that they are participating in. Things should be set up so that if you are in the list for that podling, you can change that list. Every change made through this interface will cause an email to be sent to the private list for the podling, the private list for the incubator, and root@ so that the infrastructure team is aware of the change. - Sam Ruby >> - Sam Ruby >> >> On Thu, Apr 6, 2017 at 1:06 AM, Sam Ruby <ru...@intertwingly.net> wrote: >> > Background, from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-13804 >> > >> >> With this feedback and review, I believe we're still operating as >> >> expected. >> >> >> >> * Per current policy, IPMC members have commit privileges on all >> Incubator >> >> repositories. >> >> * The above is effected through the use of a private GitHub Team >> >> * According to users' GitHub preferences, they will Watch new >> repositories >> >> * GitHub is sending notifications of changes, per Watch selections >> >> >> >> The "answer" here is to Unwatch repositories, as appropriate, and/or >> >> to alter the GitHub user account preference for auto-Watching new >> >> repositories. >> > >> > >> > Here's my case: >> > >> > I believe that asking all IPMC members that request access to *any* ASF >> > github repository to get notification emails on *all* incubator projects >> > that participate in the gitbox experiment is unreasonable. >> > >> > I believe that asking all IPMC members to individually unwatch each and >> > every repository as they are created is unreasonable. >> > >> > I believe that asking all IPMC members to uncheck "Automatically watch" >> is >> > unreasonable as it (a) will result in people being notified for new >> > repositories that they should be watching, and (b) presumes that people >> are >> > not participating/watching in other non-ASF GitHub repositories. >> > >> > Accordingly, Since I do believe that it is reasonable for every ASF >> member >> > to get email on all ASF repositories that they have commit privileges >> to, I >> > am asking that the IPMC revisit the current policy that all IPMC members >> > have commit privileges on all Incubator repositories. >> > >> > I believe that the alternative is technically feasible: have each podling >> > manage a list of committers for that podling: >> > >> > https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/ppmc/ >> > >> > - Sam Ruby >> > >> > >> > >> > --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org >> > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org >> > >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
