[Db-derby Wiki] Update of "DerbyCommitProcess" by BryanPendleton

Dear Wiki user,

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

The following page has been changed by BryanPendleton:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyCommitProcess

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The above three steps are repeated until there is consensus that the change is ready.
   * The developer signals that the patch is ready to be committed by checking the "patch available" checkbox. The developer may also send a message to derby-dev requesting the attention of a committer.
   * A committer sends a message to derby-dev indicating that she intends to review and commit the change.
+  * The committer satisfies herself that the change is ready, and commits it, following the DerbyCommitHowTo.
-  * The committer applies the patch and verifies that it applies cleanly. Remember to check for AddedOrDeletedFilesInDiff.
-  * The committer reviews the change. Good practices to follow here include: 
-    * close reading of the diff, 
-    * exploratory testing of specific changes of interest, 
-    * verifying that the regression test(s) fail without the code change(s) and pass once the code changes are applied.
-    * possibly running some or all of the [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/java/testing/README.htm regression test suites], as the committer deems relevant.
-  * When the committer is satisfied that the change is ready, the committer issues the "svn commit" to commit the change. In the commit log message, the committer should include information that ties back to the JIRA issue (the Jira bug number in the format DERBY-XXX anywhere in the commit message) and to the developer who made the change.
   * The committer updates the JIRA entry to:
     * clear the "patch available" checkbox 
     * include a comment with information about the revision number, for example as a hyperlink to the SVN revision viewer for that revision. If the Jira issue number was correctly entered in the svn commit log message, then Jira will automatically pick up the commit message and link to SVN revision viewer in the Subversion Commits tab.
