Re: matz/knu: Requesting committer privileges to add Win32 NTLM authentication to net/http

It sounds fine to me and I have no objection to putting it into 1.8
after getting tested and matured in trunk, as long as the concerned
issues are resolved.

I'd agree that the name really matters, especially when it comes to
becoming a part of the standard libraries.  A project can be named
anything one desires because the project is one's own, but the library
namespace isn't.  I personally don't prefer the prefix "ruby" for a
library/class/module name unless the features it provides are directly
related to the language itself, because it's pretty obvious that
everything in Ruby is for Ruby.

For the committer privileges, if the area you are going to maintain is
not very large and you think the code is pretty mature, you can just
send us a patch via tracker as necessary.  Minero or someone else will
always commit it for you.  If Minero starts to think that you are a
noisy bugger who spams tracker so often with straight-forward and
quality patches, you are forced to become a committer. :)
