| Re: [jakartaee-spec-project-leads] Review committee lists |
Thank you Mike for clarification! From https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#elections-retire-cmA project lead may also retire a committer. A project lead might, for example, retire a committer that has been inactive for an extended period of time (e.g., longer than a year). Before retiring a committer, the project’s community should be informed of the change and the committer must be given a chance to defend retaining their status via the project’s dev-list.
Retired committers are listed as Historic Committers on a project’s Who’s Involved page. To restore an historic committer to committer status, they must be re-elected into the role.
A common practice is for the project lead to use the project’s dev-list to announce generically that they’re going to retire committers that have been inactive for some designated period of time and give the committers a chance to speak up before a deadline.
There is no means by which a committer can be forced out of a project if they have not done anything wrong (there is no notion of "voting a committer out" of a project). Leaving the company that sponsors the project, for example, is not a valid reason for retirement. On the other hand, that a committer has changed jobs or roles and can no longer continue to contribute the project is a completely valid reason for retirement.
Tom, hope the above info provides more guidance for your question earlier!ThanksEmilyOn Wed, Apr 19, 2023 at 9:21 PM Mike Milinkovich via jakartaee-spec-project-leads <jakartaee-spec-project-leads@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:_______________________________________________On 2023-04-19 2:14 p.m., Scott Marlow wrote:

Hi Tom,The committers that are no longer around or inactive won't be removed but they will be moved to Historic committers so that their status can be reinstated if they want to come back one day.FYI, I noticed that once you indicate that a committer should be moved to Historic committer list (via "Retire Committer Status" option) that there is no web UI option that I can see to move them back to the active committer list. So the action to reinstate might be to start an election.
Yup. From https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#elections-retire-cm
