[Koha-devel] Proposal for a change in guidelines for the sign-off process in the Koha-community

[Brendan Gallagher]

Hello All -

During the hackfest, there was a discussion on the sign-off process for
Koha.  In attendance was, Nathan, Chris, Katrin, Paul_P, Jonathan, Arnaud,
Joy, Brendan, Tomás, Brooke, Tom, and BobB.  Here is what we all agreed
upon to send a proposal to the next developers or general meeting

I'd like to put forward a motion for removal of the guideline that one
company shouldn't sign-off on the same company's patches within the
community.  I am suggesting additional checks be included in the sign-off
process to prevent abuse of the proposed guideline, such as the committer
and the person signing off must not have collaborated on the development of
the patch.  We shall review that idea/process every 6 months as an agenda
item in the general meeting, to make sure that no abuse of the new
privilege has occurred; also note here - that we do not have to wait 6
months to point out abuse of this new privilege.  The QA team and Release
Team still have the right to ask for more eyes to look at a certain bug at
anytime and this should continue.

Thank you,
Brendan Gallagher
