TODO: : PMC roster
May 29, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
This file is a placeholder ahead of the release-management
skill family landing. None of the release-* skills exist
yet, see
docs/release-management/README.md.
The roster below is what release-vote-tally will read to
classify each [VOTE] reply as binding (PMC member) or
non-binding (committer / community).
PMC membership for <Project Name>. Update every time a new PMC
member is added per a [VOTE] thread on the project's private list
or per a Board resolution removing a member. Authoritative source
is the project's record under <projects.apache.org>; this file
mirrors it so the tally skill can resolve a From: address without
hitting the public LDAP every run.
Roster
| Apache ID | Name | Primary email | Binding since |
|---|---|---|---|
<TODO> | <TODO Member Name> | <TODO>@apache.org | <TODO YYYY-MM-DD> |
<TODO> | <TODO Member Name> | <TODO>@apache.org | <TODO YYYY-MM-DD> |
<TODO> | <TODO Member Name> | <TODO>@apache.org | <TODO YYYY-MM-DD> |
A [VOTE] reply counts as binding when:
- The
From:address matches a row'sPrimary emailexactly, or - The
From:address contains@apache.organd the local part matches a row'sApache IDexactly.
Rule (2) is the fallback because PMC members occasionally vote from
<id>@apache.org rather than the Primary email recorded here.
Personal Gmail / corporate addresses MUST appear in Primary email
to count.
Resolution
release-vote-tally's resolution algorithm:
- Normalise the
From:header tolocal@domainform. - Try exact match against
Primary email(case-insensitive). - If
domain == apache.org, try the local-part against theApache IDcolumn. - If neither hits, the vote is classified non-binding and surfaced for RM review.
If a binding voter casts a vote from an address not on this roster,
the skill flags BINDING-CANDIDATE-UNRESOLVED and refuses to count
the vote until the RM either (a) updates this roster to include the
address, or (b) confirms the vote is non-binding.
The roster is the source of truth for the tally skill. The skill never infers binding status from message content (e.g. a sign-off that says "PMC member" does not promote a non-roster voter to binding).
