Adding a Committer

• Community Driven

Most of the process to add a new Committer is automated, but the PTL need to fill in the template and update the INFO.yalm for the repo

• • The existing Committers vote for a member of the community to be promoted based upon a significant contribution to the project over an extended period of time 

  • The PTL fills in the 

    Create from Template
    templateName 85426205 templateId 85426205 title Committer Promotion for [your-project-name] : Committer Name buttonLabel Committer Promotion Template

     and moves it under their project's wiki hierarchy after saving it.

  • The PTL updates the INFO.

yaml 

• • yaml and includes a link to the completed promotion template in the INFO.yaml commit

message

• • message 

  • Committer access is auto-provisioned after the code is merged

  • A Jenkins job sends an FYI notification of the Committer promotion to the TSC list for visibility

• TSC Driven

  • Under exceptional circumstances the TSC may intervene to add new Committers to a project.  Typically this is done only when something extreme such as company wide layoffs have greatly diminished the Committer pool for the project and has also impacted the PTL as well.
