Eclipse PMC decided that we should clean up our active committer list and nominate some people to be Committer Alumni for eclipse.platform: https://www.eclipse.org/projects/committers-alumni.php We should list the committer user names here, and send out a note to the committers' emails from the Git commit history. I will also ask Webmaster if I can get their latest email. Template for the email (copied and adjusted from older committer cleanups) ---- Hi, Platform is working on our 4.8 release, and the PMC decided that should take the opportunity to clear out committers who have been inactive for extended periods of time. No committer who is active or interested in remaining active should lose commit access to any source code they currently have write access to. If you wish to continue access to Platform code, please comment on bug XXXXX before end of February 2018. ----
Alex, Dani, are you OK with the suggested email text? IIRC this is based on the email Paul Webster used to send out in the past.
Looks good to me.
> Platform is working on our 4.8 release, and the PMC decided that should take the I don't think it matters whether we work on 4.8 or not. Just say: The PMC decided to remove Eclipse Platform committers who have been inactive for extended periods of time. This bug report should also list all candidates.

Here is the list of committers which are inactive since > 2 years.

In cases where someone knows the committer personally one can notify him directly if he wants - but this is best effort and wishful only.
I posted again the public mailing list and adjusted the deadline to end of next month: Email send out: ------------ The foundation privacy policy does not permit them to give out emails. Also, they prefer an open process instead of individual emails. So we will only use this public mailing list. If one of the listed persons would like to keep their commit rights, please add a related comment to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=530200. Please update https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=530200 until End of March 2018. --------------
Alex, suggested to set the the pruning period to end of April 2018. Agreed, and email send for this.
Please keep my commit rights. In my retirement (when ever that may be), I might become interested in native widget and graphics systems again.
I would like to keep mine, too, please - just in case.
I would also like to keep mine, too, please.
I would like to keep my commit rights

Paul and John have been suggested as committer emeritus for their very very important technical work for the project and also for beeing very helpful to adopters, newcomers, contributors in many ways. Once we have a PMC decision on this, I update the bug.
