I think it should stay as it is: a bug is checked by one member of the
DAM team whether it is reproducible. If yes it goes into fixing, if
not, 2 other members check it. If it is not reproducible at all and
the reporter does not answer to questions it gets closed.

If it is reproducible it gets fixed more or less. Patches have to be
tested by 3 team members. If all say +1 (so we have a +3 in the end)
it gets commited by one of them. If someone says -1 it does not get
commited to the main version as long as the members do not share one
opinion about it or another member says +1. (so every patch has to
have a +3 in the end)

Everyone belongs to the "team" who is member of this list right now
and either testing bugs for reproducibility or creating patches. New
members can join the team if they want to do one of these tasks in an
active way.

Each of us should be able to commit patches.

If it affects 1.0 it is a good idea to fix that also because people
are currently still using it.. but in general I'm for patching trunk
and latest version only. (people should update and DAM versions are
compatible)

right
