Subject: Committer status invite from Apache SpamAssassin

Dear [First Name],

On behalf of the Apache SpamAssassin Project, we are pleased to offer
you SVN write access ("commit access") to the SpamAssassin project
repositories.

Please recognize that commit access does not preclude appropriate code
review prior to committing code, based on the type of patch.  The trunk
is usually in Commit-then-Review mode (except before release) and stable
branches are generally in Review-then-Commit mode.  A formal review with
three +1 votes on Bugzilla (which can include the author if the author
is a committer) is required when in R-T-C mode prior to committing
changes.  However, even when in C-T-R mode, significant patches should
still be submitted to Bugzilla or discussed on the development list
first.

Please read these web pages for background on how Apache works and what
being a committer means.

If you accept this invitation, please reply in the affirmative and
include in your reply your preference of account name at apache.org,
and your forwarding email address.

Finally, please note that being given commit access is not the same as
being elected a member of the ASF or being on the SpamAssassin Project
Management Committee.  We've had some misunderstandings in the past on
this so we point out the distinction up-front.

Thanks for your sustained contributions to SpamAssassin!

Regards,

The SpamAssassin PMC
