[Incubator] Committer Responsibility Guidelines Examples?

[Frank Warmerdam]

Jody,

I think I raised the concern, and I was looking for something like the
"Legal" section of the GDAL commiter guidelines stressing the
responsibilities of commiters to ensure the code they commit is
appropriately contributed:

  http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc3_commiters

On GDAL (and some similar projects) we expect new commiters to publically
acknowledge that they have read the guidelines and will endevour to adhere
to them on the project mailing list so there is a lightweight record.

The goal is to ensure that commiters understand their responsibilities, and
to demonstrate that the project had made reasonable efforts to keep the
code base clean.

Best regards,
Frank
