Hi devs,
Right now we’ve started acknowledging the committers in the Release notes.
I’d like to propose to extend that try to ack everyone who participates in one way or
another to a release, and not just developers.
I can think of 3 more items to add:
A) All the JIRA issue reporters that have had an issue fixed for the release (bug,
improvement, new feature, etc). They took the time to report an issue and thus they’ve
helped the committers to improve the quality of the release and thus they should be
acknowledged. This allows us to also ack QA. We could decide to exclude the reporters
who’ve also been committers or leave them in.
Here’s how to automate this:
{{groovy}}
def jql = URLEncoder.encode('category = "Top Level Projects" AND (fixVersion
= "9.0-rc-1" OR fixVersion = "9.0") AND resolution = Fixed AND
component != "Development Issues only"', "UTF-8")
def columns = "field=reporter"
def url =
"http://jira.xwiki.org/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp/SearchRequest.xml?jqlQuery=${jql}&${columns}".toURL().text
def root = new XmlSlurper().parseText(url)
def reporters = [] as TreeSet
root.channel.item.each() {
reporters.add(it.reporter.toString())
}
println "{{{"
reporters.each() {
println "* ${it}"
}
println "}}}"
{{/groovy}}
Thanks

B) The people who’ve contributed translations done after the start of the release
development.
Ideally we would also ack:
C) The people who’ve helped on the list for the release
D) The people who’ve helped on the Design and made proposals that made it to the release.
I’m thinking of Caty for example. Luckily Caty also commits some code and often she’s
recognised through commits.
The problem with C) and D) is that they’re hard to gather. But we could do it on an
ad-hoc basis by adding them to the RN during the development (when they help) instead of
doing it at the end.
In any case I’d like to focus on A) and B) FTM and I’m proposing to add them to the
Release Plan since they’re easy to find out.
WDYT?
Thanks
