Hi devs,
So far 3 committers have expressed strong doubts (or are even against) this vote. For me
it means we're not unanimously in agreement and thus I prefer to retract this vote for
now.
I still believe the proposal is better than the "fake" vote we're currently
doing but it's not all that important :) What's important is that we regularly get
new committers and new blood!
Thanks

Hi devs,
There are a few topics that are not supposed to be public or that would be better be not
public.
One such topic is when we want to VOTE someone as a committer. It's very
uncomfortable to do this in the open for the following reasons:
* committers are tempted to VOTE +1 since voting negatively is seen publicly, including
by the person being voted on
* it's very undelicate to have this in the open especially if the person is voted
down since that'll affect that person's morale and future participation in the
project
So I'd like to propose creating a committers(a)xwiki.org list with the following
characteristics:
* private, visible only to committers
I also propose it to use it for voting committers.
WDYT?
Thanks
