Someone from the list below sends a pgp-signed email to admins@freebsd.org, the person assigned as mentor to the new committer, and CC:'d to core@freebsd.org confirming the approval of the new account. (this email should include a link to this document so the mentor/mentee know what is expected of them)New account approvals are only valid from these pgp entities:
core-secretary
portmgr
nik@freebsd.orgNOTE: New account requests from anyone other than these entities or requests signed with pgp keys other than from these entities will not be acted upon. No Exceptions.
The person assigned as mentor to the new committer needs to collect and send the following information to admin@freebsd.org:
- master.passwd line containing preferred username, shell and gecos info. (no password is needed)
- ssh V2 public key (*version 2 only*!)
- pgp key for new committer (used for account recovery or other needs that require positive identification of the committer)
admin@freebsd.org creates the new account with the above info on the freebsd.org cluster and then notifies the mentor and the new committer.
After the new committer confirms that his account works, the mentor activates the new committer's commit bit and guides them through the rest of the initial process
