He made it clear he wants to push to trunk when he feels like it, and won't commit to finishing at all, let alone within a reasonable time frame. That's just not acceptable. I tried to get him to go there, but he explicitly refused. What do you want me to do? > * - I personally can not join because of the conflict of interest. That's up to your personal ethics, but I don't see a prohibitive conflict based on what I know (obviously, see my .sig). I deal with having a commercial interest by asking other committers for review of my MRs, and taking my time about forcing the issue if they're too busy. Obviously it's a little bit different to work on the project for 25 years and then become a consultant, but the net result is a conflict. Others manage it well. (And I've even seen people like Guido van Rossum and Glyph take crap for "conflicts" because they pushed projects others didn't think were important, but did matter for their employers or clients. Cut me a break on that, will ya? Those were useful changes for a lot of folks, even if not a majority.) My main issue with adding you is I don't see you much on the lists, and you're not in GitLab discussing issues or MRs I'm familiar with, where I do see Mark and Abhilash a lot, and did see Barry, Terri, and pingu a lot too back in the day in all of those forums. I think that committers should serve the users and the other developers in a variety of ways, as well as demonstrating a connection to the design philosophy and architecture of the project. I don't think just speeding up code additions based on reviewing the snippets you see in a MR is that big a contribution. None of that makes you specifically less an asset to the community in many ways (including that commercial support, just because you're supporting the community doesn't mean you have to be a volunteer). But I don't know if committer is a role you would fulfill well, and I'd be a lot more comfortable proposing you for the role if I were aware of those kinds of service (and, of course, if you said you were interested!) A final note -- I play project leader on TV because we need a spokes- person, but Abhilash is the project leader. He has been personally very busy so we let him concentrate on architectural work and his own projects like the sample docker configuration. I've been channeling leaders for 30 years, and they tell me I'm usually accurate, or at least acceptable, so I don't stop. But if you don't like what I say, you can appeal to other committers, and in particular to Abhilash.
