...although of course we don't want to start setting a different bar for people with and without @redhat.com addresses. I'd suggest that Moran is easier to trust because he's endorsed by Livnat, who we know and trust, but I'd say it would be better to have him join the oVirt infra team at the point where not being part of the team prevents him from doing something useful. And of course, whatever bar we set for Moran, we should have the same bar for others (so, for example, if tomorrow RobertM proposes adding someone to the team who has not previously worked on infra, this situation would be a precedent).

Sure, that's fine. Moran is pretty easy to accept anyway give the @redhat.com email address...

great to see i'm used as a case study. true, I was a part of oVirt work on different aspects till now, less on the infra front directly. i would be happy to help on oVirt infra if the chance would be given to me.

:) I hope you don't mind!

The idea, I hope, is that everyone has the opportunity to help on oVirt infra - our challenge is to figure out how to enable people to contribute without having root access to oVirt machines, and thus allow them to build the trust of the infra team. So whatever happens, you will have the chance to help on oVirt infra. Thank you for your offer!
