<h2>Rationale</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Over time, FreeBSD committers may find other demands on their time,
|
|
and decide that they wish to resign their commit bit. However, under
|
|
some circumstances, a committer may become inactive over a long period
|
|
of time without explicitly resigning their bit. Over the long term,
|
|
these accounts can represent a security risk, as well as posing
|
|
procedural questions regarding the degree to which contact information
|
|
and access methods for the account are maintainable. For these
|
|
reasons, the FreeBSD Core Team approved the following commit bit
|
|
expiration policy, last updated on November 26, 2013.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Policy</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Committers that have not made a commit in 18 months may be removed
|
|
from the access file from time to time. Committers that wish to get
|
|
back their commit bits will have to reapply with the appropriate
|
|
authority.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If all of a committer's commit bits expire, then the committer's
|
|
<tt>FreeBSD.org</tt> account may also be suspended at the &os; Core
|
|
Team's discretion. An account is suspended by disabling login
|
|
access and any other services (such as CGI scripts or non-trivial
|
|
mail forwarding configurations) that execute under the committer's
|
|
account. Simple mail forwarding will continue to work, and an
|
|
individual may e-mail <tt>core@FreeBSD.org</tt> to update mail
|
|
forwarding settings. The committer's files may or may not be
|
|
preserved at the &os; Core Team's discretion. A suspended account
|
|
will be reactivated if any of a committer's commit bits are
|
|
restored.</p>
