Invoke silent consensus rule for podling releases (was: [VOTE] Release Apache Bloodhound 0.3 (incubating))

It's quite frustrating that people find time to write hundreds of mails
about points of procedure, but can't take time to review a release
tarball from a podling.

Activity on Bloodhound is picking up, and the project wants to release
every couple weeks; yet the 0.2 vote thread sat in general@ for longer
than that.

It's worse for these mails to go unanswered than if the release had been
vetoed. I hereby propose we extend the silent consensus rule to podling
release votes.

Make every vote a bugzilla issue, and use the existing script that mails
an issue summary once a week?

That tool would be useful in more places than the incubator. Great idea.
I'm looking forward to seeing it ;-)

Yes. In fact, I spent time reviewing AOO incubator releases. Don't
recall if I actually voted on one; probably not, since there were so
many other active IPMC members all over that.

I know; but it got everyone's attention, didn't it. :)

What I'd more seriously like to propose is that we come up with a tool
that slurps the general@ archives and pings the list once a week with a
reminder about outstanding votes. I'll happily invest my copious free
time towards that, if the IPMC agrees such a tool would be useful.

Reviewing a release when you are not directly involved as a developer is
**really hard**.

As an IPMC member yourself, have you ever reviewed a release for podling you
were not involved with?  There have been release candidates for podlings other
than Bloodhound which have gone waiting.  A detailed review from you on one of
those -- with or without a vote, comprehensive or partial -- would be a
welcome contribution.

I suspect that pace is not realistic while Bloodhound remains in the Incubator
unless the podling manages to land a third core contributor who is also on the
IPMC to go with yourself and Hyrum.

-1

That's at odds with basic, ASF-wide rules for voting on releases.

I'm with Benson here. But we do need to acknowledge the problem identified
(again) by Branko.

This is a mentoring problem not an IPMC problem. The IPMC needs to solve it
for existing podlings, and podlings where mentors have gone quiet but we
need to express higher expectations of mentors for new podlings.

Branko, talk to your mentors. If that fails talk to the IPMC.

-1 for  extending the silent consensus rule to podling release votes. BTW,
have you got any IPMC binding votes from your mentors ?
