The Gentoo Dev that's committing the work isn't a maintainer, in |
| 14 |
relation to the package. S/he is a committer. So...: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Gentoo Dev doing the commit: Proxy Committer (or just Proxy) |
| 17 |
Person doing the work: Maintainer-By-Proxy. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Sure, the dev may do a bit of maintenance or cleanup before committing, |
| 20 |
but the bulk of the work is done by the maintainer-by-proxy. However, we |
| 21 |
can clear up a lot of confusion if we just change our terms slightly to |
| 22 |
more strongly indicate the dev's relationship to a package. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
And, "proxied" is a word, but it does not mean what we need it to mean. We |
| 25 |
could make it mean what we want it to mean, but I think that's kind of |
| 26 |
mean. You know what I mean? |
