Description Jiri Kovalsky 2009-09-10 13:02:38 UTC
Right now PluginVerificationPage.jsp shows table of verifiers and their votes. Unfortunately, the content looks strange
when some verifiers are removed for old verifications because if the team of verifiers changes new verifiers are not
listed there and plugins can stay for example in PASS state in spite of having only 3 Go votes while the team consists
of 6 verifiers + nbadmin.

Hence it would be better to create new DB table for logging important events for each verification and update
PluginVerificationPage.jsp accordingly to display this history of actions. It would contain messages like this:

History log for plugin "nbgit"

[2009-08-19 14:23] Go received from plugin verifier 'jkovalsky' with this comment:
                   "Very good plugin. Great job Alan!"
[2009-08-19 14:23] Majority of Go votes reached, no NoGo. Plugin published on 6.7 Update Center.
[2009-09-10 13:57] Removed plugin verifier 'jkovalsky'.
[2009-09-10 13:58] Added new plugin verifier 'mkovalska'.

In my opinion this way it would be more transparent in the future what happened in the past and busy/inactive verifiers
could be replaced easily.
