On the Incubator page for Geronimo here http://incubator.apache.org/projects/geronimo.html the Roles and Responsibilities link points to the approach described for Jakarta here http://jakarta.apache.org/site/roles.html which describes a public voting process.
On the Incubator Documents page http://incubator.apache.org/drafts/newcommitters.html it says: "If a developer has contributed a signicant number of high-quality patches, is interested in continuing the contribution, and has demonstrated the ability to work well with others under the Apache guidelines, a committer can propose a [VOTE] on the developer mailing list to grant the developer commit access." The email below is actually based on one used on the struts-dev list. This is a publicly described process and we voted to follow it. If this is an issue, then it is larger than Geronimo and should be discussed in a different forum. As people have been "banging down the door" I think we should continue with the publically endorsed approach until other issues are resolved. -- Jeremy > -----Original Message----- > From: Aaron Bannert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 6:34 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [vote] Aaron Mulder as committer > > > I don't think it's a good idea to hold public votes on things like this. > > Normally, the PMC conducts these votes on the project pmc mailing list, > but since this project isn't yet out of incubation, that responsibility > falls to the incubator pmc.
