In my opinion the convention not to accept new committers in the sandbox is a best practice and not a formal rule.
It isn't in the commons charter and thus it's an informal convention and a good one I say. (the sandbox isn't an official jakarta subproject but was created under the jakarta-commons charter)
The sandbox was created as a workplace for Apache committers and not as a SourceForge replacement.
But that doesn't say we shouldn't accept Mario as a jakarta-commons committer. (and as a result also give him karma to the sandbox)

Hi, I can't vote on it until further clarification: is it an actual rule, a convention, a best practice, or something else that sandbox committers must first be committers to other ASF projects? If it's a rule, -1 from me as well.

It looks as though the committers for VFS are currently busy working on other projects. I would like to propose that a vote is held to
admit
Mario Ivankovits as a Commons-Sandbox committer.
Mario has been active on the developer list for over a year and has submitted patches for FTP and VFS. More recently, Mario has spent some time setting up a test server for VFS.

There has been increasing interest in the VFS project over the last few months, and it needs someone to be focusing on it. Mario has expressed an interest in moving VFS forward and, I believe, is ready.
However, I am not a committer myself, so is there anyone who would
be
willing to sponsor this proposal and send out the appropriate "VOTE" email?
