<h2>Proposing a new committer</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want to propose a new committer, you should send the following
|
|
information to the appropriate entity:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Information on what established (FreeBSD) track record the
|
|
nominee has. This is <em>not</em> optional; it has become
|
|
standard practice over the last couple of years.</li>
|
|
<li>Who has volunteered to become the mentor for the new
|
|
committer.</li>
|
|
<li>The email address of the nominee (remarkably often this
|
|
is omitted).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Responsible party for this procedure is:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>src --> core@</li>
|
|
<li>doc --> doceng@</li>
|
|
<li>ports --> portmgr@</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p> You will get ACK after the message is seen, and core@ and doceng@
|
|
will give you a response in <= 7 days. For them, timeout is set
|
|
at 7 days. Portmgr@ may need more time to reach a decision.
|
|
If voting finishes earlier then the nominator/nominee are informed
|
|
earlier.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Authorizing A New Account</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Someone from the list below sends a PGP-signed email to
|
|
admins@FreeBSD.org, the person assigned as the mentor to the new
|
|
committer, and copied to core@FreeBSD.org confirming the approval of
|
|
the new account. This email should include a link to this document
|
|
so the mentor/mentee know what is expected of them.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>New account approvals are only valid from these PGP entities:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>core-secretary</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>portmgr</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>doceng</p></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><i>NOTE: New account requests from anyone other than these
|
|
entities or requests signed with PGP keys other than from these
|
|
entities will not be acted upon. No exceptions.</i></p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Information Needed From New Committer</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The person assigned as the new committers' mentor needs to collect
|
|
and send the following information to admins@FreeBSD.org:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p><tt>master.passwd</tt> line containing preferred username,
|
|
shell, and GECOS info (no password is needed)</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>ssh V2 public key (<strong>version 2 ONLY</strong>)</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>PGP key for new committer (used for account recovery or other
|
|
needs that require positive identification of the
|
|
committer)</p></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>admins@FreeBSD.org Creates New Account</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>admins@FreeBSD.org creates the new account with the above
|
|
information on the FreeBSD.org cluster and notifies the mentor and
|
|
the new committer.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Mentor Activates New Committer's Commit Bit</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>After the new committer confirms that their account works, the mentor
|
|
activates the new committer's commit bit and guides them through the
|
|
rest of the initial process.</p>
