Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
this was also my understanding. GLEP 76 applies to everyone -- no |
| 4 |
exception and during discussion we explicit agreed that it's better to |
| 5 |
reject any contribution from individual(s) who cannot do the sign-off |
| 6 |
for whatever reason. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Keep in mind: Whoever will proxy such a commit will be 100% responsible |
| 9 |
in the end. For purely self-protection reasons nobody should proxy a |
| 10 |
commit he/she doesn't understand, doesn't know the origin or in general |
| 11 |
has any doubts about. _You_ will be responsible for this because _you_ |
| 12 |
introduced the commit in Gentoo. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
That said, an individual who doesn't want to do the sign-off for |
| 15 |
whatever reason could also contribute without getting attribution if |
| 16 |
contributor will find a developer who is willing to do this (=what |
| 17 |
happens for most small proposed bug fixes via b.g.o for example). |
