It may be used to decide whether someone may be nominated as an extra ATC for a project, I've only found https://releases.openstack.org/newton/schedule.html#extra-atcs-deadline for an indirect reference. > Is it possible to change the owner of a change set (e.g. if someone else > has become the primary contributor, or if the original owner has left > the project)? Is that recommended? I don't think that this is possible. If the change becomes sufficiently different from the original, you may consider either splitting it up into two patches or resubmitting it as a new change. Otherwise just adding yourself as co-author and resubmitting seems to be the most common practice. > Is there any other process or metadata that applies to this topic? There may be legal (copyright related) issues, but I don't know about that. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
