Did Robert send out email saying he was no longer active, remove him as a maintainer, etc.? This page doesn't mention anything about inactivity: http://www.ovirt.org/Becoming_a_maintainer It may simply be up to us to decide if we want a policy around inactivity. It seems to make sense that Infrastructure would be more strict around this - unlike code contribution under git, root access to servers can be destructive if an inactive Infra member has their key compromised, etc. He was at one point, probably when we formed the Infra group. As above, we don't have any policy for this. If we're worried about proliferation of sshkeys with sudo access and less active Infra members, perhaps we can control specifically who has access to what rather than "everyone, everything." If someone goes inactive we can remove their sshkey access, but leave the rest (user ~/, voting privileges, etc.) I recall asking Carl Trieloff about this when he and JimJag were drafting the initial governance for oVirt. I was worried that a Board and maintainers that grew without much attrition would be unwieldy. They reassured me it worked out fine - there is no reason to retire people, if they are not active then they just stop debating and voting, but they can always come back as per the merit that got them maintainership in the first place. I haven't seen so far a reason to doubt their reasoning.= So far it appears that new apprentices are added by suggesting of an existing maintainer. Perhaps we want to make that a more formal sponsorship arrangement? Each new apprentice needs a sponsor to help get them started, etc. Cheers - Karsten my ice. be etc. --=20 Karsten 'quaid' Wade http://TheOpenSourceWay.org .^\ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41 ------enig2XWWTXRMPABTPSTAVSRCL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" ------enig2XWWTXRMPABTPSTAVSRCL--
