After seeing 2 people volunteer their services as MacPorts
committers recently, it occurred to me to wonder just how these
sorts of ad-hoc, informal "how can I help?" messages are being
acted on. If someone from project management has already quietly
followed up to those folks off-list, with encouraging words and the
usual array of necessary questions, then I apologize in advance for
even implying that the team is anything but totally on top of this
important function!
The way we'd like it to be handled is this way:
http://guide.macports.org/#project.membership
Someone who wishes to become a committer sends a message to the
portmgr email address and demonstrates how they have fulfilled the
requirements listed there.
Rainer already forwarded Thomas de Grivel's request to the portmgr
list where we will now discuss the request and then give a response.
The portmgr list is for the managers only and is not open so regular
users and committers can't see these requests or discussions, so the
first indication of the existence of a new committer might be the
addition of their handle to the MacPortsDevelopers wiki page, or
their first commit coming through on the macports-changes list. The
history of that page can show who was added when.
http://trac.macports.org/wiki/MacPortsDevelopers?action=history
Though the comment field is often blank, we ask new committers to add
themselves to the list, so the first occurrence of a new address in
the Author column is probably when that person became a committer.
