[Evolution-hackers] Patch Review Mode

[JP Rosevear <jpr novell com>]

Starting Tuesday July 6th, 2004 at noon EST, patch review mode will be
in effect:

* Every patch will be sent to evolution-patches ximian com in the form
of a unified diff (cvs diff -u) and include a relevant bug number if
possible in the subject of the message

* Every patch will have to be on the list for at least 24 hours before
  being committed.  A week-end (Saturday+Sunday) counts as a single
  24-hour day. [1]

* Core maintainers are required to give their opinion on the bug in the
  24 hour period.

* Core maintainers are defined as follows:

        Addressbook:
                Chris Toshok <toshok ximian com>
Hans Petter Jennson <hpj ximan com>

        Calendar:
                JP Rosevear <jpr ximian com>
                Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo ximian com>

        GtkHTML:
                Radek Doulik <rodo ximian com>
                Larry Ewing <lewing ximian com>

        Mailer:
                Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>
                Michael Zucchi <notzed ximian com>

        Shell:
                JP Rosevear <jpr ximian com>
                Michael Zucchi <notzed ximian com>

        GAL:
		Any of the maintainers listed above

* Once the patch has been committed, it is repsonsibility of the person
who commits to:

        - Close the corresponding bug on Bugzilla.

        - Write to the mailing list, replying to the original message
          containing the patch to inform the other hackers that the
          patch has been committed.

[1] Note the main important change from previous releases is that not
even core maintainers can commit with out approval from another core
maintainer even after 24 hours.
