Basically, the person doing one or two commits a month *do not* need CVS access. They can still *contribute* at their current pace without having CVS access and a nice @gentoo.org email address. All they need is for someone to commit for them, just like every other person who contributes by adding ebuilds/patches/etc to bugzilla. I saw bring in people that *want* to work harder and let the ones that don't contribute like any other user. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation --=-yP6bCgu7NZH0/iRPdrjl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBFI9IEkT4lNIS36YERAsGvAJ9W51kpsUxIJU7ZE//rwfpO5I/o+wCcDion jcJWTsToyRSvagF1xfaUiGk= =6vH9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-yP6bCgu7NZH0/iRPdrjl-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
