[servlet-dev] Removing restrictions on direct commits

[Mark Thomas <markt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

In approx 24 hours time I intend to request that the branch restrictions 
that prevent committers committing directly to the master branch and 
those that require every PR to be reviewed before merge are removed.

My reasoning is as follows:
- I have seen the benefits of these restrictions not being present in EL
- I'm expecting a number of non-substantive changes will be required to
  successfully complete the release process and PR + review for all of
  them will significantly slow us down
- Committers are perfectly capable of determining which changes need a
  PR and review and which can be made directly - and if they get it
  wrong changes can easily be reverted

I was intending to propose this change after the Jakarta 10 release but 
on reflection, I think the sooner, the better.

Thoughts? Comments? Objections?

Mark
