Hi guys,
I've taken the liberty to refine the notion of active committer on
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Committership
Basically the idea is that active means having at least 1 commit in a
period of 1 year (rolling period).
We had discussed this and it was hinted in the text I rewrote.
I do not really disagree, but I do not remember that discussion, any pointer
?
I thought initially that active committers where active until they are
emeritus, and the switch is done by proposal and discussion with the
concerned committer. I probably repeat myself, but there is many ways to
contributes, other than purely doing a commit. Even if I do not want to
plead for myself in particular here, my recent works on xwiki-store with
Caleb is a good example, no commit from me, but surely a real participation
in Caleb's commits. Moreover, as you have said before, actively
participating is not always
easy, in particular in these days, and I try to still actively participate,
while focusing on points that I know well or matters most for us since I
have no time for more currently. I really wish to be able to do more.

Just wanted to make sure we all agree about it.
