Just a few notes: 1. [http://jakarta.apache.org/site/source.html] Simple patches to fix bugs can be committed then reviewed. NKB says: "If Rainer saw that Andy committed bugged code, he could have reverted it immediately" 2. [http://jakarta.apache.org/site/source.html] Half complete projects should never be committed to the main branch of a development repository. All code changes must be successfully compiled on the developer's platform before being committed. Also, any unit tests should also pass. NKB says: "Andy should not have committed bugged code" 3. [http://jakarta.apache.org/site/source.html] The current source code tree for a subproject should be capable of complete compilation at all times. However, it is sometimes impossible for a developer on one platform to avoid breaking some other platform when a change is committed. If it is anticipated that a given change will break the build on some other platform, the committer must indicate that in the commit message. 4. [http://jakarta.apache.org/site/source.html] A committed change must be reversed if it is vetoed by one of the voting members and the veto conditions cannot be immediately satisfied by the equivalent of a "bug fix" commit. The veto must be rescinded before the change can be included in any public release. NKB says: "Rainer could have -1ed Andy's commit and make him revert it unless Andy fixed it right away" 5. [http://jakarta.apache.org/site/roles.html] At times, Committers may go inactive for a variety of reasons. A Committer that has been inactive for 6 months or more may lose their status as a Committer. Getting access back is as simple as re-requesting it on the project's Developer mailing list.
