I think if the number of these kind of requests stays low it won't be a problem, but otherwise it could bias/dilute the rfc voting(as we only require a valid php.net account there) depending on how somebody interprets the voting rfc. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu --- ## #79982 — Kalle Sommer Nielsen — 2014-12-28T16:48:16+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/79977#79982 · In reply to: #79980 Hi Pierre 2014-12-28 11:06 GMT+01:00 Pierre Joye : > btw, what is the best way to approve such accounts, with karma? > I was thinking something along the lines of basic doc karma as for many bugs one way or another involve touching parts of the manual. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net --- ## #79983 — Pierre Joye — 2014-12-28T18:11:16+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/79977#79983 · In reply to: #79981 > > > > On Sun, Dec 28, 2014 at 11:06 AM, Pierre Joye wrote: > > […] wrote: > > […] > > > one doesn't need any additional karma for handling bugreports, only an approved php.net account. > recently I approved one or two similar account requests, but only because they were from regulars from php-internals@ people whom already provided pull requests in the past. > I think if the number of these kind of requests stays low it won't be a problem, but otherwise it could bias/dilute the rfc voting(as we only require a valid php.net account there) depending on how somebody interprets the voting rfc. Someone doing regular bug triage, valid them, test them, follow them is an awesome active contributor and deserve more than anyone else to vote. Just to make it clear, this is an ungrateful job and requires to know php very well from a userland pov. Many of us don't, including me. :) > -- > Ferenc Kovács > @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu --- ## #80004 — PHP Group — 2014-12-29T16:26:47+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/79977#80004 · In reply to: #79977 VCS Account Approved: jacob approved by bjori \o/ --- ## #80006 — Hannes Magnusson — 2014-12-29T16:32:15+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/79977#80006 · In reply to: #79977 let me know if you need commit karma for anything.

Many of us don't, including me. :) > just to make it clear: I approved those account request, because I agree with you that it really an important task. but I also think that many people would argue with you that having no karma or any commits should be allowed to vote("People with php.net SVN accounts that have contributed code to PHP"). it was also brought up multiple times in the past that how can this and that php.net account has no karma at all. Personally I would be fine with either decision (that they allowed to vote or not), but I think that it would be nice if we could discuss this and get a consensus soon instead of later when somebody makes a big drama out of it. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
