As I said before, I'm +0 for mailing list as long as it's used as Guillaume described here. Alex On 14.10.2011 11:33, Guillaume Lerouge wrote:
Hi,
after thinking about it (and an IRL discussion with Vincent) here's my updated point of view on this:
- Have a private mailing list for committers - If a committer feels that it's time for a contributor to become a committer, he suggests her on the private mailing list - Discussion on the private list ensues, committers decide whether the contributor is ready or not - If the contributor is not deemed ready, the process stops - If the contributor is deemed ready, the proposer talks to her privately and asks her whether she would be interested in becoming a committer - If she's not interested, the process stops - If she's interested, a public vote is launched on the devs mailing list
This way the vote is still public and non-committers can voice their feedback, but there is a central location for the initial discussion (instead of the proposer having to go and talk to every committer privately on Skype, IRC and the like). We also keep the benefits of people standing publicly by their votes.
WDYT?

Hi,
I know Vincent retracted this vote for now, but just for the record and for the balance, I would definitely have +1'd. I support especially the point that it's tough to express reserves on someone's work publicly, even in an open world. And that in the end we might tend to just not do it when we should.

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 [email protected] list with the following characteristics: * private, visible only to committers
I also propose it to use it for voting committers.
WDYT?
Thanks -Vincent
