Its secondary + responsibility is to coordinate among the committers and + developers who work on it. As part of these efforts, we added 3 + new committers, took in 3 commit bits for safe keeping, and + reinstated 1 commit bit in the fourth quarter of 2013.</p> + + <p>Ongoing effort went into testing larger changes, as many as 8 a + week, including sweeping changes to the tree, moderization of + the infrastructure, and basic quality assurance (QA) runs.
