Not very sure about it.
And how do we announce the new commiter that he has been voted? Are we still
making the announcement public?
The feeling of being voted is very nice, you get a picture of the people
that appreciate what you do. Letting this go would be a pitty and if we are
not removing this part then it means we are gonna duplicate the vote.
Also the voting process is usually initiated by an existing commiter. IMO
the initiator is responsible to assure he is proposing someone who will be
accepted without problems. Until now people that didn't agreed with
something (or didn't had enough information about the topic) they didn't
vote. Because our number is increasing I propose to increase the needed
votes to pass the proposal from 3 to 5+, or why not even half+1 in important
cases, like this one.
IMO, we either do everything public or not. So doing a private list just for
this purpose is not sufficient IMO and is also a not very encountered case.
Thanks,
Caty

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
So here are some use cases for this list:
* voting in members
* excluding members
Any other topic you see?
+1 from me.
I also propose it to use it for voting
committers.
+1
Thanks

WDYT?
