A combination approach seems like it would be the best to me. Is the process you guys use documented? As I said, the part that bothers me with the way RTC is done in the project I am involved in is that I can’t commit my own stuff. Ralph > On Nov 20, 2015, at 6:09 AM, Jim Jagielski wrote:

Lets recall that 'review' is not just about trust (or whether or not it exists), it's also about this little thing called *oversight*. It's to ensure that at least 3 people are engaged enough to be able to not only vet the code/patch/whatever, but to make sure that should the original patch provide

Yes, it was a trick question. But it proves my point. I can’t imagine a world where someone would refuse to participate in a project because it was CTR, but in my view this variation of RTC definitely limits the number of people wanting to join. I am sure this is going to be a controversial stat

Trick question, as I'd never work under that model :-) Apache Subversion is CTR, with a very low bar to get commit access to portions of the tree or a branch (only PMC members get access to whole tree, so we grant full access and PMC membership simultaneously). We don't need a fancy label for "con

Greg, which of these do you use when the “contributor” is a committer? Remember the model here is that the author is never allowed to commit their own code. Ralph > On Nov 19, 2015, at 3:10 PM, Greg Stein wrote: > > The Apache Subversion project does something similar: > > http://subversion.a

And there is another problem I have. Maybe it isn’t true of all projects, but the one I am involved with says the author can’t commit his own code. So the commit logs will not reflect who actually authored the code but who reviewed it. I could probably tolerate RTC if I had to have the commit
