Sorry for being late to this discussion. Have been travelling for
the last few weeks and apparently failing miserably at keeping up
with email and meetings...
We went through this whole discussion when Gemini was first formed,
and as a result of many of the limitations we ended up with separate
subprojects. I agree that it would be great if the ACL committer
lists, IP logs, separate release plans, release reviews and
schedules, etc. etc. were more flexible in the project, but when it
comes down to it, and you have multiple different release artifacts
for multiple different technologies, and the list of things that are
different between them gets so high that there is not much in
common, you kind of end up concluding that they really are different
projects. In the case of Gemini Blueprint, I think it's fair to say
that the problem wasn't that Blueprint committers were separate from
the rest of the Gemini committers, but that Blueprint was basically
stagnating and inactive as a project, resulting in a void of active
committers.

At the last RT PMC call there was discussion of
Gemini's subproject structure. Recently, one of the subprojects
temporarily had no committers and the thought was expressed on the
call that this could perhaps be avoided in future by amalgamating
the Gemini subproject committers into a single ACL. Presumably
this would require amalgamating the subprojects into one.
I spoke to Mike Keith about this and it seems that it is
necessary to keep the subproject structure so that individual
subprojects can be released independently of each other (which
is essential). For example, the subproject structure enables IP
logs to be managed and approved separately.
So is the conclusion that we can't amalgamate the ACLs
without losing the ability to release subprojects independently
of each other?
