Ce n'est qu'au bout d'un temps variable (qui peut être très long) au rang de Chasseur, et si la qualité des patch qui ont été envoyée est satisfaisante, qu'un Maitre Yoda en place vous offrira un accès CVS direct. Vous êtes devenu un Amiral de l'alliance Dolibarr.
Ce titre ne se demande pas, il s'obtient par décision ou proposition d'un Jedi ou Maitre Yoda qui estime que vous avez soumis suffisamment de patch pour être un sérieux Amiral. L'accès CVS d'un Amiral doit cependant n'être utilisé que pour commiter soit des traductions, soit des corrections de bugs déclarées sur Savannah ou le forum (que ces corrections soit personnelles ou issues d'un patch soumis par un Chasseur). Tout commit CVS doit ainsi obligatoirement inclure, dans la description (le champ log de commit), le numéro du bug Savannah corrigé OU le titre du message du forum signalant le problème. Seul une traduction échappe à cette contrainte (pas de restrictions pour les traductions). Le non respect de cette contrainte, peut provoquer une rétrogradation au rang de Chasseur. Pour la soumission de nouvelles fonctionnalités, il faut donc obligatoirement continuer sur le principe de patchs envoyés sur la ML.
L'obtention du grade d'Amiral est toutefois rare car limité. La qualité de Dolibarr ne pouvant être atteinte que par un nombre d'Amiraux contrôlé, ce qui n'empêche pas d'avoir un nombre de développeurs (Chasseurs) très important (grâce au système de patch).
Fonction à pourvoir: Oui (Ce rôle ne s'obtient pas toutefois simplement en postulant, Voir Comment_devenir_développeur_officiel pour le circuit à suivre)
