- create a github "fake" core committers repository with just a README inside<br>
- create a "QGIS Committers" team that has commit rights in the "fake" repo<br>
- put every contributor that currently have commit rights in any of<br>
the qgis org repositories into the "QGIS Committers" team<br>
- for all repositories except the "fake" one: revoke commit rights to<br>
all developers that haven't committed anything in the last 6 months<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Could we loosen that "hasn't committed anything" to "hasn't had a commit merged to master OR actively participated in the pull request process by either explicitly approving or rejecting a PR"? There's some core committers who now basically only participate in pull request reviewing (and that's ok, it still shows that they're actively involved!). Note that I intentionally didn't include "commenting" here, or merging a pull request already reviewed by others, but rather only the "active" tasks of explicitly approving/rejecting.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Note: committers that need their commit rights back will just need to<br>
ask to get them back.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Could we also require that a dormant committer MUST have had a commit reviewed and merged back to master before their rights can be reinstated? I think that's a fair enough requirement. To pick a random example -- if Larry (dakcarto) asked to be reinstated, we'd want to first ensure he's back up to date with the current development practices, state of the codebase, and all associated policies. So we require that they've had another successful contribution following the dormant period before giving them back the git rights. That shouldn't be a big ask, and I'd expect that all contributors would be ok with the extra step.</div><div><br></div><div>Nyall<span style="background-color:transparent"> </span></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

This way we don't need to change the statute of the QGIS association<br>
(and wait for the next AGM).<br>
