Nothing personal Dave.
I'm usually the last to vote for bureaucracy. Process must be balanced by
common sense.
On the one hand, the process is (generally) that you make yourself
familiar to the community by submitting patches. You gain experience in
the process/style/discussion of the community - then you (we prefer rather
quickly) become a commiter. In this case 'quickly' was VERY quickly. . .
Note that I didn't vote against you.
On the other hand, you & your team are working on items incidental to the
main work of the team. There may or may not be a problem, and from your
comments its sounds like the possibility is low.
Normally I wouldn't take a hard-line stance on this (I can say that since
it didn't happen that way :-). However, on top of the above issues, there
is an impending 1.0 release. I, myself, am trying to stay out of the way
of the core group working on TCK & interop issues. I'm probably the worst
for rocking the boat at this point. . . [having tests back on-line will be
helpful :-]
The last thing anyone wants at this point in the game is to rock the boat
more than it needs to be. I'm not so much voting AGAINST new committers,
but rather that I'm trying to balance the issues by voting for stability,
flexibility (dave or ? becomes committer) AND process for new committers.
Let 1.0 out the door [primary goal being to pass TCK], and we should be
able to resolve this to everyones satisfaction.

Meaning, the only thing we might possibly check into the 1.0 tree from
here on would be some documentation and some critical bug fixes should
that need arise.
