All, At the CLT today we discussed the proliferation of write/admin access on the ceph repository. One of the consequences of this has been that Ceph's code guidelines have not been followed in merges [1]. Additionally, having too many folks -- many of whom have retired from active development -- with write access to the repository presents security concerns. With the CLT's support, I have addressed this by pruning write/admin access to the Ceph repository to only these Github teams: - https://github.com/orgs/ceph/teams/ceph-maintainers - https://github.com/orgs/ceph/teams/ceph-release-team - https://github.com/orgs/ceph/teams/admins - https://github.com/orgs/ceph/people?query=role%3Aowner "ceph-maintainers" is a new team that includes component team leads and senior Ceph engineers. If you feel you should be in this list and were missed (sorry!), please reply to this mail. "ceph-release-team" is a new team that includes folks working on Ceph releases, right now Yuri. "admins" is an extant team that includes members who help administrate the Ceph project. The members of the Ceph org who are owners have write/admin privileges regardless of team organization. I've included that for completeness. Anyone not in these aforementioned teams will (should) be unable to push to ceph.git [2]. Please coordinate with your component team lead for merging your changes.
