The definition of active used by the Eclipse Foundation reporting systems is a minimum of 1 commit in the preceding 9 months. YMMV.
Unless otherwise specified, "an extended period" is defined as "no activity for more than six months".
Committers are required to monitor the mailing lists associated with the Project. This is a condition of being granted commit rights to the Project. It is mandatory because Committers must participate in votes (which in some cases require a certain minimum number of votes) and must respond to the mailing list in a timely fashion in order to facilitate the smooth operation of the Project.
John,There are more things to consider. First, the reference that Mike made when commenting on our MP WG Charter proposal was in response to electing a Committer rep and how to ensure that they are "active" enough to be considered for election and to be an elected member of the Working Group. We could spell that out as well in the Charter, or we could assume that the community wouldn't vote for someone that is not active. I prefer the latter.Also, how are we going to define "active"? Some of us committers (myself included) do not have many commits on a regular basis. Lately, speaking for myself, I've only committed code when helping with one of releases. But, I am still quite active on the Hangouts and the Mailing list and Voting. So, I'm assuming that type of activity would count as well?
Something that I continue to be asked by active Microprofilers who are not committers yet is how long is the bare minimum to qualify for nomination.
