[FAQ] Why are some committer names links on project proposal pages?

Submitted by Wayne Beaton @wbeaton

Link to original bug (#532140)

Description

Add an FAQ entry to the "Starting a New Project" section to explain why some committers have links and others do not.

-- When the list of committers provided for a new project proposal are rendered, a link to more information for each individual committer will be included when possible. The link will render, for example, when an individual already has a role on another existing Eclipse open source project (e.g. is a committer, project lead, PMC member, etc.). No link indicates that no existing project relationships exist for that individual.

Wayne,

We could also add icons next to the name to show the status of the listed person:

• ?: Unknown in Eclipse
• U: Eclipse Identified user
• C: Committer
• c: Contributor
• !: Missing paperwork

Or any icons you would like to use.

WDYT?

Kind regards

Out of scope on this bug. I've moved this discussion to Bug 532143.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
