It's the wrong list, ie) should be on general@, but I'm thinking that we should just set in stone a date at which point a new committer is listed on the pmc list and asked if they should be on the pmc (to the person nominating them as committers). So let's say Robert becomes a committer today. This would be noted in a file. In 6->9 months time (ie when the chair does the report), any 6 month old committers would involve a question to the person nominating them as committers as to why they shouldn't be nominated. So culture change. One in which people are challenged to exclude, not expected to remember to include.
