Candidates should submit an application to this new list, commit@twistedmatrix.com which is a list of links to at least 10 tickets, at least 5 of which are patches they've submitted, and at least 5 of which are code reviews they've done which have been accepted by a committer. At least 2 of their authored patches should have gone all the way through the process to be landed.
I am not a supporter of private discussions for public projects... but I am ok with having something. I agree that Twisted general discussion Open source contributors should take a rejection as an opportunity to improve. Open source maintainer should not accept patches or add new contributors just to be nice. I would say that we should ask for 5 patches which were merged. I find that 2 patches are too few. Also 2 patches for cleanup jobs are fine, but I don't think that they are enough.
As with the other parts of our process, if there is at least one sponsor, and no objections from anyone on the committee within 7 days, any member of the committee may add the committer.
New committers should then be announced on the mailing list.
This is not really an ideal process - particularly, it lacks a good way to give contributors something specific and useful to do - but it's something at least. If there is general assent that this is an improvement, I'll go make a wiki page and a mailing list.
Should be a start and much better than current process. As soon as the committee is in place I will apply for commit rights to practice the process and also validate that I deserve the commit right. Meanwhile I will start recording my activity. For new contributors, I suggest that they can create a wiki page to keep track of the tickets. I have no idea how you can use Trac report to give you a list of tickets you have reviewer or you have contributed patches to. ------ Since some Twisted related project are on GitHub it would be nice to discuss some direction about how to get edit rights for those projects.
