Developer Log
=============
This file is a running log of developers given permissions on SourceForge.
The purpose is to provide some institutional memory of who was given access
and why.
The first entry starts in April 2005. In keeping with the style of
Misc/NEWS, newer entries should be added to the top. Any markup should
be in the form of ReST. Entries should include the initials of the
project admin who made the change or granted access. Feel free to revise
the format to accommodate documentation needs as they arise.
Permissions History
-------------------
- 2006 Summer of Code entries: Matt Fleming was added on 25 May 2006
by AMK; he'll be working on enhancing the Python debugger. SoC
developers are expected to work primarily in nondist/sandbox or on a
branch of their own, and will have their work reviewed before
changes are accepted into the trunk.
- Steven Bethard was given SVN access on 27 Apr 2006 by DJG, for PEP
update access.
- Talin was given SVN access on 27 Apr 2006 by DJG, for PEP update
access.
- George Yoshida (SF name "quiver") added to the SourceForge Python
project 14 Apr 2006, by Tim Peters, as a tracker admin. See
contemporaneous python-checkins thread with the unlikely Subject:
r45329 - python/trunk/Doc/whatsnew/whatsnew25.tex
- Ronald Oussoren was given SVN access on 3 Mar 2006 by NCN, for Mac
related work.
- Bob Ippolito was given SVN access on 2 Mar 2006 by NCN, for Mac
related work.
- Nick Coghlan requested CVS access so he could update his PEP directly.
Granted by GvR on 16 Oct 2005.
- Added two new developers for the Summer of Code project. 8 July 2005
by RDH. Andrew Kuchling will be mentoring Gregory K Johnson for a
project to enhance mailbox. Brett Cannon requested access for Flovis
Bruynooghe (sirolf) to work on pstats, profile, and hotshot. Both users
are expected to work primarily in nondist/sandbox and have their work
reviewed before making updates to active code.
- Georg Brandl was given SF tracker permissions on 28 May 2005
by RDH. Since the beginning of 2005, he has been active in discussions
on python-dev and has submitted a dozen patch reviews. The permissions
add the ability to change tracker status and to attach patches. On
3 June 2005, this was expanded by RDH to include checkin permissions.
- Terry Reedy was given SF tracker permissions on 7 Apr 2005 by RDH.
- Nick Coghlan was given SF tracker permissions on 5 Apr 2005 by RDH.
For several months, he has been active in reviewing and contributing
patches. The added permissions give him greater flexibility in
working with the tracker.
- Eric Price was made a developer on 2 May 2003 by TGP. This was
specifically to work on the new ``decimal`` package, which lived in
``nondist/sandbox/decimal/`` at the time.
- Eric S. Raymond was made a developer on 2 Jul 2000 by TGP, for general
library work. His request is archived here:
