At the moment, there is a 1 to 1 for "core" committers and "contrib"
committers. We haven't had any case otherwise yet.
If we do start to draw a distinction (which I'm fine with), I'm not sure
whether or not we want to require some code before the contrib repo is
created (since it is an INFRA ticket that would need to be serviced by a
real human being). I think r/w access is on a per-repo basis right now?
If that's true, we don't have to worry giving out more access than we
should.

I have two questions about contrib projects, one of which I think requires
a vote.
1) Are contributors to contrib repos treated the same as contributors ot
the main project?
I would guess they are, since the contrib repos are still under the
Accumulo project. I'd like to make sure Lazy Consensus agrees.
2) What is the process for adding a new contrib repo?
All I can find are occasional discussions in jiras. I would expect this to
need a similar level of agreement as a release, e.g. PMC majority[3]. But I
need something to reference before it would be appropriate for me to cite
it in the contrib docs.
Presuming an existing PMC agrees with me, could they please call a vote for
a bylaw addition for adding new contrib projects?
My suggested language follows below.
=====
[VOTE] Bylaws amendment for creating new Contrib repos
Please vote on the following addition to the Apache Accumulo bylaws:
----
# Adding a new Contrib Repository
Proposers are strongly encouraged to submit their proposal for discussion
to the developer mailing list prior to calling for a vote.
The addition of a new contrib repo under the Apache Accumulo project will
require a vote of existing PMC members. The vote shall have a 72 hour
voting window and require majority approval[1]. Following a successful
vote, an Accumulo PMC will submit the necessary

This vote will remain open for 72 hours and must have consensus approval[2]
to pass.
