Well done. A few comments: * I don't see any reference to signing the contribution agreement. When does this happen? We have three choices: - when getting commit access in the community area - when graduating to extension - when graduating to core Imho core module shall be covered. Probably extensions too, since we are distributing them. Community, meh, let's avoid this requirement and allow people to contribute without that extra headache? * Imho the wording for the demotion from extension/core to community should be more direct: once the maintainer steps down the destiny of the module is in the PSC hands, which will evaluate if it's good, quiet, whatever is deemed necessary to keep in in the supported land * community and extensions do have a maintainer. Person or company? What about core modules, who's the maintainer for them? the PSC itself? Seems fitting, if you want to have a seat on the PSC you take some of the onus of keeping the boat afloat (aka "with great power comes great responsibility") * in the extension process you say: "A license called '<module>-LICENSE.txt' which contains the license for the extension". You mean, stuff like reporting usage of Apache modules and the like? I mean, the extension module should be GPL'd no? Or else, maybe not, but as things are today, it's very hard to develop a module that does not link to one of our's GPL'ed classes * typo: "The more t4est coverage a community module the more credibility it gets." t4est -> test Provided the contribution agreement and wording for demotion of extension/core are taken care of, assume I'll vote +1 (since I won't be around next meeting).
