This is a template for offering people commit access in the contrib/
area.  Just replace "J. Random" with the offeree, "XXXXX" with the
name of their contribution, and "{AT}" with "@".  Thanks to Garrett
Rooney for his original mail to Ray Miller regarding p42svn, on which
this template is based.

Subject: Subversion commit access for XXXXX

J. Random,

I discussed it with the rest of the Subversion Committers, and we'd
like to offer you limited commit access to the Subversion repository
for your work on XXXXX.  All of us think that having it in the tree
would give it a wider audience, which is always a good thing, both for
finding bugs and for finding new developers to help out.

Assuming you accept, you'll be able to create a XXXXX directory in the
contrib/ subdirectory of the Subversion tree, and maintain XXXXX there
from now on.  Your commit access to the repository would be limited to
that subdirectory, so for any changes outside of that area you would
have to have the patches reviewed by someone with full commit access.
This limitation isn't actually enforced by any technical means (we've
always been too lazy to set up hook scripts or mod_authz_svn).  It's
enforced only by social convention, so please be careful not to
inadvertantly commit any changes outside the XXXXX subdirectory.

Note that we decided to put XXXXX in contrib/ simply because at the
moment you would be its only active maintainer -- whereas placing it
in the tools/ subdirectory would imply some level of official support,
and we prefer to have multiple active maintainers before doing that.
In the future, if more people get involved with XXXXX, we can look at
moving it into tools/.

If you do not already have partial commit access, you can accept this
offer by replying to this mail and following the instructions at
<http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html#cla>.  A temporary
password will be chosen for you and revealed via email.  Once you are
notified that your account has been created, you are encouraged to
modify the COMMITTERS file appropriately (under the 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
section, describing your commit area as '(XXXXXXX)'), which also serves
as a test of your new username and password.  Then create
contrib/XXXXX/ and start committing!

Thanks,
-Your Name Here
