Proposal for having branch committers

[Vikram Dixit K <vi...@gmail.com>]

Hi Folks,

We seem to have quite a few projects going around and in the interest of
time and the project as a whole, it seems good to have branch committers
much like what is there in the Hadoop project. I am proposing an addition
to the committer bylaws as follows (taken from the hadoop project bylaws
http://hadoop.apache.org/bylaws.html):

"Significant, pervasive features are often developed in a speculative
branch of the repository. The PMC may grant commit rights on the branch to
its consistent contributors, while the initiative is active. Branch
committers are responsible for shepherding their feature into an active
release and do not cast binding votes or vetoes in the project."

I am +1 on this.

Thanks
Vikram.
