Yes, once the discussion completes.

Have you ever worked for the government?

Shortly before my eyes glazed over 8^}, I had a few questions

Q. Specifically, what is the definition of "a significant contribution" (or "significant changeset") to this project?

I wouldn't consider tags and Mercurial generated merge changesets as significant contributions to this Project.

Q. How is the changeset contribution scoring done? If I contributed a change to jdk8, and someone else integrates that change into jdk7u, does that count?

Yes. I'd consider both the integration and the original change as significant contributions as significant contributions to this Project.

If I contribute changesets directly to Oracle internal non-open jdk7u4 repositories, does that count?

No.

Are the hundreds of changesets already in the repositories with my name on them count?

Yes - you're already a Reviewer as per the Census. The goal here is to make it transparent how to get Project roles for new people coming fresh to this Project.

If I send you a bottle of nice wine, can I increase my score card? ;^)

Well, the only way up from being a Reviewer is being the Project Lead ... and in true Highlander fashion, there can be only one per Project. ;)

cheers, dalibor topic
