[QGIS-Developer] qgis/QGIS repo: revoking commit rights on "dormant" contributors

[DelazJ]

Hi Alessandro,

What do you mean by:
> The problem is that commit rights are currently bound to voting rights.

How voting (I assume at AGM, for grants and so on, thus for the whole project) is related to committer status in a given repo?

Thanks,
Harrissou
