[pde-dev] Merging PDE sub-projects

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Eclipse project PMC has done a review
of our sub-projects, and found a few sub-projects that don't have enough
active committers to continue operating as independent projects. We are
in the process of merging some projects together to ensure each project
has a large enough pool of active participants. You can find all the background
discussion in this bug:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=394224

For this mailing list, the area of interest
is the following change:

Collapsing all PDE sub-projects (eclipse.pde.incubator,
eclipse.pde.ui, eclipse.pde.build) into a single PDE project (eclipse.pde).

As a result of this merge, the following
active committers will be nominated for eclipse.pde commit rights: oliviert,
mrennie,  johna,
prapicau

The following inactive committers will
lose commit rights when the PDE sub-projects cease to exist: dj,
jpospycha, irbull, kmoir

If you are listed as inactive but are
interested in staying active as a PDE committer, please speak up here and
we will ensure your commit rights carry over.

Thanks,
John
