The IP log tool requires you to be a committer on each sub-project in order to submit an IP log. In the case of a project that "rolls up" several sub-projects in a single release, there are cases where a committer or PMC member on the parent project wants to submit IP logs for a sub-project they are not a committer on. Since the IP log tool doesn't allow this, we had to submit several separate IP logs for each sub-project for Helios, which creates confusion and extra work for the foundation staff.
We found this a couple of weeks ago. There's a flaw in the logic that decides whether or not the button should display. Frankly, the code is so twisted and weird that I wasn't quite sure how to fix it without breaking something else. The fix is to go directly to the "submit" page: http://www.eclipse.org/projects/ip_log.php?projectid=eclipse.platform,eclipse.jdt,eclipse.pde I know... too little, too late. We'll get this more right next time.
Uh... sorry. The link is: http://www.eclipse.org/projects/ip_log_submit_to_legal.php?projectid=eclipse.platform,eclipse.jdt,eclipse.pde List the projects you want to roll up on the projectid parameter.
When I login and go to that page it says at the bottom, "to modify an ip log you must select a single project". If I then select a single project it says, "to modify an ip log you must be logged in as a committer on the project".

When I try the link on comment #2 it works fine. So this looks like a good workaround (for those who know about it).
(In reply to comment #4) > So this looks like a good workaround (for those who know about it). Understood. Now that things are cooling down, I'll take a harder look at it.
Fixed. PMC Lead or PMC Member can now submit a log on behalf of multiple subprojects.
