Sorry, I thought we had changed that policy, so I guess I would like
to propose that we change it now. It does not really make sense to me
to distinguish the sandbox and I think we should make it as easy as
possible for existing ASF committers to contribute to commons.
So my proposal is that any ASF committer who wishes to become a
commons committer just needs to make that request here on the
commons-dev mailing list and they will granted karma for both commons
proper and commons sandbox. Expectation is of course that ASF
committers joining the commons will "behave"
(http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/JakartaCommonsEtiquette).

I hope ASF committers learn nothing new on the etiquette front (there
may indeed be some procedural novelties) after reading that document
:-)
But since I can't personally vouch for all, I don't care much for this proposal.
As an alternative, we could discuss requests for karma from ASF
committers on private@ (good sign that we have not even created that
yet :) but I don't personally see the need to do that.
In any case, I don't think we should revert to the old practice of
public committer votes (whether or not the individual is a current ASF
committer).

Sure, that makes sense.
