Overall, it looks good to me. I didn't weigh in on the doc via comment
too much, but I agree with the comments that Sean, Bill and Mike raised.
A few extra things:
I believe we should state somewhere in the bylaws the Committer==PMC
stance. The breakdown of each role (C, PMC) makes sense to me, but
putting in writing the practice we follow is a good idea. This also
forces us to have a serious discussion with PMC to achieve a 2/3
majority (alter the by-laws).
Regarding emeritus status (since that was also discussed on the mailing
list), I think the verb-age in the doc is good (specifically no
revocation of commit ability). The only ambiguity I see is who is in
charge of updating emeritus status of a person due to idle? This may be
hard to judge: does it include things like IRC? Non-ASF forums related
to Accumulo (vendor forums, stackoverflow, etc)? Should the idle member
be contacted before switching to idle to ensure that they're not going
to just un-idle themselves? It seems easy to stomp on someone's toes by
moving them to Emeritus -- I think requiring an attempt of contact
before status change is the easiest, general solution.

Thanks for putting it in a Google Doc, Arshak!
What issues do y'all see with this document in it's current state?
Personally, I think it looks fine and would be willing to start a vote on
it, but I get the impression that east coast weather has prevented some
folk from looking at it, so maybe another couple of days is fine.

Perhaps some ambitious volunteer could start a collaborative draft of
Accumulo's bylaws in Google Docs or something, using ZK as a starting
point. After it stabilizes a bit, we could push it to the project
webpage as a draft and vote on it?

I didn't get that impression from reading their document. While C
and
PMC
are two distinct roles, there is nothing stating that there cannot
be
overlap, and the fact that there is 100% overlap is entirely
orthogonal.

This would change the existing Committer == PMC, no?
That's the biggest thing I noticed scanning over the document.

I think we should have some Bylaws, as that gives us more

I propose that we adopt the ZooKeeper bylaws, replacing all
references
to
ZK with Accumulo.

What say ye?
