I think Christian is right. It's about to close the gate for being a
*initial* committer. Not the *normal* committer status.
I don't have gotten that wrong. I was talking about the initial committers too.
And for this we have to define a deadline. My suggestion is still end of
July or latestly end of August.
No given reason has convinced me of the necessity of a deadline here.
While there is ample reason to have a generous deadline, I haven't heard a good
reason not to have a deadline.
When you have entered your name on the list on the beginning and haven't
answered back until today (even not to say "sorry, I need a bit more
time"), then IMHO it's time for a deadline.
Maybe if we were able to understand why some of these individuals have delayed
it would help.
I know what you mean but when they haven't shown up here until today,
IMHO they also won't answer to tell us why not. ;-)

I strongly disagree here. The door is not closed as written many times
already.
Lets choose the example that an initial commiter signs up the iCLA
only next
year. The reasons are pointless.
No, not at all, you cannot be an *INITIAL* committer if you're not
part of it from the very beginning.
The ones that have signed the iCLA can simply fully work already. Those
who have not signed the iCLA can contribute via mail and the user wiki.
Yes. But not as *initial* committers.
So lets not waste our time with processes to prevent something that
is of no
harm.
It is doing harm. Having "fake" committers/supporters that only exist
on paper is doing big harm (in perception, reputation of the whole
project).
There can be a difference in number between initial committers and 'completed'
committers in both cases. Whether we put a deadline on this or not does not
change that.
And I think it is not ok to call those who have not completed the legal paper
work yet to be 'fake' committers.
Kind regards,
Ingrid
