I read it as a rule to drop developers. If we're only talking about it
raising a warning to undertakers so they can check the dev status, then
I don't have a problem with the proposal.
Recalling previous discussions about work on gentoo and some of the
existing roles, what will you do to AT folks, release members or QA
members? Are they also obliged to do a weekly commit to keep their
"privileges"?
AT folks aren't devs and see above.
To be clear, I didn't meant arch testers but people that do keywords for
arch teams.
Finally, I thought the whole point of removing access to infra boxes
(which is the end result of retiring a dev), was a concern with
security and not a way to get rid of people - with the exception of
administrative action by devrel.
Security and gives us a better picture on what is really maintained and
what is not.
But in that case I don't think that the level of commits is the best
indicator if someone is maintaining properly a package or not. The
number of open bugs and the mean time that it takes for the developer to
react to a bug might give us a better picture.
As a final thought, I think this point is a tangent to the old debate
about tree-wide commit privileges and or the scm of the tree.
Afterall, if gentoo-x86 was a git tree and or we had acls in the tree,
I don't think we would be having or would need to have this argument.
If we used git, proxy maintaining would be easier.
True, but with some acls we could also have a different model where
people worked on parts of the tree and where commit privileges didn't
pose so many security risks. With the current practice of doing work in
overlays it would also be simpler to merge the work back into the
Portage tree.
