[mapserver-dev] Motion: Commit rights for Dan Little

[Jan Hartmann]

I am always trying to improve my English and look op the words and 
expressions they didn't teach us at our (Dutch) school. Wikipedia says 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinky_swear):

"Traditionally, the pinky swear is considered binding and tantamount to 
a handshake <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handshake> in terms of sealing 
a deal. The pinky swear originally indicated that the person who breaks 
the promise must cut off their pinky finger.^[2] 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinky_swear#cite_note-1> In modern times, 
pinky swearing is a more informal way of sealing a promise. It is most 
common among school-age children and close friends. The pinky swear 
signifies a promise that cannot be broken or counteracted by the 
crossing of fingers <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossed_fingers> or 
other such trickery.^[3] 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinky_swear#cite_note-2> The Pinky Swear 
can be broken if all parties agree. Pinky promises are also only valid 
if all parties agree prior to interlocking pinkies. If it is broken 
without the consent of the other parties, that person is able to kill 
the promise breaker. A pinky swear can however be broken if the majority 
of candidates chose to break it."

I propose that these guidelines be added to the commiter guidelines in 
RFC 7.1, corrected for spelling of course :-).
