With two options on the table, I think we need to put this to bed quickly so
I am calling for a vote between the two following options:
Option #1 from Davanum Srinivas:
Step #1: 1 week of Nominations.
Existing committers can nominate new committers by
sending a note to the dev mailing list.
Step #2: One of the ASF sponsors consolidates the list of
nominations and starts a VOTE on the dev
mailing list. VOTE is open for 1 week.
Existing committers can use +1/+0/-0/-1 to indicate
their preference in an email to the dev mailing list.
Step #3: ASF sponsor conveys the result of the VOTE to the
incubator PMC and asks for permission to add the new
committers.
Option #2 from Ryan Ackley:
Step #1: Any committer can propose someone as a committer at
any time. The proposing committer generally lists
their contributions and why they should be made a
committer.
Step #2: Any current committer can vote on the new committer.
The vote is open for 3 days and requires consensus
( three +1's and no -1's) as per
http://incubator.apache.org/drafts/voting.html
(note this is a different link than Ryan's original)
Step #3: A positive result is handled as per
http://incubator.apache.org/drafts/newcommitters.html
We go with whichever option gets the highest score after three days (+1's
less -1's) unless the outcome is obvious.
My vote:
Option #1:
-0 jboynes - I think we should use a standard process from the
beginning for all committers rather than a custom one
Option #2:
+1 jboynes - It's the normal process
