[Spamassassin Wiki] Update of "BecomingCommitter" by KevinMcGrail

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Spamassassin Wiki" for change notification.

The "BecomingCommitter" page has been changed by KevinMcGrail:
https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/BecomingCommitter?action=diff&rev1=17&rev2=18

Comment:
Clarified CREDITS file additions to avoid future out of sync issues.

  
  The first time a file is checked in using {{{svn commit}}}, you will be prompted for your username and password.  This will then be cached for all further commits.
  
- You should first commit a change adding yourself to the CREDITS file.  If you want to do additional test commits, you can try something like adding a single newline to the end of an inoffensive file in a subdirectory, and removing it again; that should do the trick.
+ One of your first commits can be to check the spelling of your name and add a wishlist to the CREDITS file.  
  
  The first time you commit something your commit message needs to be moderated through, so don't be surprised if it doesn't show up for awhile.

  The PMC chair then needs to follow the instructions at http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#SVNaccess to give the new committer r/w access to the SVN repositories.
  
+ Finally, add the Committer to the CREDITS file for SpamAssassin.

  Given your CPAN userid, someone with the karma -- this may be just JMASON -- logs in to the [[https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=share_perms|PAUSE Share Permissions page]], and selects '3.1 Make somebody else co-maintainer', filling in your userid.  (This can wait until it's needed, since you probably won't know the committer's CPAN userid right now.)
