Maybe its time for new blood? If existing Log4j developers can't put in the time necessary to move things along as fast as the community would like, then it might be time to accept some new developers from the community that are willing to keep things moving.
That's what I was thinking too. That's why I asked if there were patches ready from a couple of people, so that we can review them for quality and such before or during a committership vote.
Elias, are you volunteering? Users like Kay Abendroth, who has been extremely busy the last couple days canvassing Bugzilla reports, may be what we need to move things along.
+1.
Of course, some evidence of providing quality patches and general dedication are prerequisites to becoming a candidate for committer access to the project, as well as having been nominated by a committer (I'm not 100% sure of all the Apache rules for committer access?). Maybe some of the other committers can chime in here. I don't want to start nominating people before we get a consensus of what approach, if any, should be taken.
A committer's gotta nominate a contributor, the PMC has to approve. It's pretty simple in that technical regard. Different people have different personal criteria for voting on a new committer. Personally, for a project approaching dormancy, my criteria are lower than usual: a few good patches, some demonstrated energy on the mailing lists, and a good attritude.
Thoughts?
If you've got someone you want to nominate, g'ahead. Yoav --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
