The basic idea is to provide some transparency into repository creation, making it easy for existing JDK 7 Committers to push approved fixes into the always open JDK 7 Update mainline, while gating push access to the masters a bit more carefully to ensure that they are always in a good shape.

Decisions on adding or removing repositories and forests in OpenJDK MUST be made on the jdk7u-dev mailing list.

I like the -dev suffix idea.

This is http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u/  right?

This will be http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-dev/  ?

> Rule 3: jdk7uN - (where N is not a CPU) Master for a specific release N. It will be created on demand once we go into Phase 2 for that release. The push rights to the release forest are available to a limited set of Committers chosen by the Project Lead or the Technical Lead.

(just to clarify, CPU==Critical Patch Update, e.g. 7u1 is a CPU)

When not a CPU, e.g. 7u2, it will be http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u2/  ?

Everything under http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/ ?
