It > reads as "all users who want to become devs must be ATs." Well, depending how you want spin it, I either did or didn't mean that. I'm just saying that if we're going to basically give them everything that a "developer" gets sans commit access to the tree (which not even all official developers have by the way), why not take the extra step with them? I can tell you, for example, that if we encountered any folks good enough to be a mips AT, we'd probably just skip that whole business and make them an arch dev. I guess what I'm *really* asking is whether this GLEP is necessary? -Steve -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
