<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, which was posted to the Developers mailing list
|
|
on February 22, 2002, and later on October 30, 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. Future refinements to this policy may be forthcoming.</p>
