[Qgis-psc] Nomination of Vincent Cloarec (vcloarec) for commit rights

Thu May 14 02:20:23 PDT 2020

Hi Peter,

sorry this went under the radar.

I added him to the triage team, while a decision is taken for core
committer.

A very important point to me is that each time there is a new nomination
for a core developer, I'm feel, that it is not clear how such decision
should be taken by us in the PSC.

I don't want to cast my vote lightly, so I usually go and inform myself,
talk to other core committers, look ad communication in the PRs, mailing
lists and so on, but I still feel that my opinion is not the best to
judge such a decision.
I'd like to have a clear and transparent way to have this yes or no be
taken. Not all of us follow the details of the code developments, and
even less of us are in the position to adequately evaluate code quality.
I think we should be fair in this decision and it might be that the PSC
is not the correct group of people to evaluate technical capabilities of
committers.

Maybe we should fix a rule where the PSC has not much to say in this and
to successfully become a new core committer a contributor needs to be
vouched for by at least 5 (?) independent (not coworkers) core
committers and no major concerns are risen? The PSC would then just
acknowledges what the core developer community decided and if all is
good, awards the core-committer status to the nominee.

I want to be very welcoming and encourage new committers to aspire to
become core committer, but I'd still like the core committer "title" to
be given out only when the developer community thinks it is really deserved.

I'd like to get some feedback so we can discuss this in the next PSC
meeting.

Cheers Marco
