I wasn't trying to block anyone from being a committer anywhere they
want to be. I was trying to make a first pass at where I thought
people would want to be committers. Any committer can and should ask
on this thread to stay on all three sub-projects, if they want to. PMC
members automatically have commit rights on all of the sub-projects,
so it is largely irrelevant for them.
And then adopt a process to create new committers specific to
one sub-project.
Of course in the future there are 3 distinct lists, so they will
naturally drift.
1. The proposal of breaking up the existing set of committers into
individual sub-projects seem to be adhoc. I would hate to support a
scheme
that causes more controversy, especially among the core set of
committers.
It was naturally adhoc, but it should not cause controversy. The
choice is completely up to the individual committer. I tried to make
that clear. All I was trying to do was set up the default values to
minimize the number of emails that people had to send me.
