New Open Committer and Reviewer Policy
Posted by Maciej Stachowiak on Friday, November 30th, 2007 at 4:48 pmHistorically, new WebKit committers and reviewers have been chosen through an internal Apple process. I am pleased to announce a new open, community-based Committer and Reviewer Policy.
Some highlights of the new policy:
- New committers and reviewers will be chosen by the existing project reviewers.
- The policy treats everyone equally, regardless of corporate affiliation.
- There is a clear statement of criteria to be considered as potential a committer or reviewer.
This new policy should address many of the concerns raised by non-Apple contributors to the project and help sustain WebKit’s amazing industry-wide growth.
