Agreed, that seems pretty clear. But that's not how it works in reality. That is, the primary maintainers of specific repositories give other people write access, not the PMC. E.g., when I give someone access to a Turkic translation pair, it's not because I'm on the PMC, but because I'm a maintainer of that pair. I think the by-laws should probably be revised to reflect a more realistic workflow.
Also, PMC members can certainly be pinged to give access, but does it require a vote? Does it require some research and/or checking with the repo's primary maintainers? (PMC members are not usually aware of the social history of everyone seeking to contribute to any given language pair, for example.) -- Jonathan ср, 26 февр. 2020 г. в 11:25, Mikel L.
