Re: [oniro-dev] [oniro-pmc] Committer Election for Jacopo Zorzetto on Ec

[Wayne Beaton <wayne.beaton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Oniro Core Team.

It looks like this (and one other) election has gotten off on the wrong foot and committers are correctly voting -1 because of the missing merit statement.

The infrastructure doesn't permit changing a merit statement after an election has begun (the principle being that changing the question after you start a vote is considered bad form).

In cases where the merit statement is omitted or considered inadequate, or committers just have additional questions about a candidate, it's completely reasonable to discuss it on the mailing list, and for committers to then use that discussion as the basis for their vote. If you've already voted, you can return to the election record and change your vote.

That is, if somebody wants to just drop the merit statement on this thread, committers who have already voted -1, can go back to the election and change their vote based on the new information.

Ideally, a merit statement (either in the election record itself or in follow up discussion) should include direct links to specific contributions. At least in part, the election serves as a means for others in the community to understand the nature of contributions that the team will accept, and give them some sense of what they need to do to join the team. A lengthy list is not required; one or two specific examples goes a long way.
