Hiya, everyone. |

Since the new copyright policy [1] has been approved, I'd like to start |
4 |
enforcing it for new proxy-maint contributions ASAP. While it's not |
5 |
enforced on ::gentoo yet, we tend to have some noticeable delay |
6 |
in merging stuff, so I'd like to avoid suddenly realizing in N days that |
7 |
we can't merge contributions submitted tomorrow because they haven't |
8 |
followed the new policy yet. |
9 |
|
10 |
At the same time, I think we should merge prior contributions as-is if |
11 |
we manage to do it before the policy is actually enforced for |
12 |
developers. Nevertheless, if proxied maintainers feel like it, updating |
13 |
old PRs to follow the policy is also a nice idea. |
14 |
|
15 |
I've updated our guide to indicate the most important points |
16 |
of the policy (others, please review and confirm I got it right!) [2]. |
17 |
I'll be updating Larry to verify sign-offs soonish. |

Developers, please remember to append your sign-off to the submitter's |
20 |
sign-off when you merge stuff! |
