+1 fwiw, but this triggered another set of thoughts I wanted to bring up ...<br>
<br>
I'd like to see us all try to speak about the core teams as review teams<br>
as opposed to recognition of being an important contributor.</blockquote><div><br></div><div style>+10; I wouldn't recommend someone for core if I didn't trust their ability to review code with a knowledgable eye towards maintaining stability, backwards compatibility, test coverage, user experience, dev-friendliness, etc.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Having a history of great contributions is merely a bonus that reflects their knowledge of the code base.</div><div style><br></div><div style>Ultimately, "core contributor" to me simply means that this person's downvotes on code reviews are consistently well thought out and meaningful, such that an upvote by the same person shows a lot of confidence in the patch.</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I think<br>
many people (and their managers) see membership on whatever-core as the<br>
ultimate goal, and lack of membership on whatever-core meaning they are<br>
not doing well enough.<br>
<br>
In the case of nova, our review team (nova-core) is up to 20 members.<br>
That's quite large and I'd like to avoid making it any bigger any time<br>
soon. That means that there are quite a few people that do amazing work<br>
contributing to the project, but are not in the subset that is<br>
responsible for approving code. I don't want it to seem like their<br>
contributions are not valued.<br>
