Thomas, The discussion is not about handle being operated outside PMC. It is perfectly fine to have handle credentials accessible to only PMC members. I started this discussion to get Apex community opinion on guidelines on what gets tweeted. The ASF does not have a formal guideline on twitter. So far there are two proposals
1. Only do release tweets, and do retweet of tweets on individual handle by requesting PMC on dev@; no special consideration to committers 2. Have a more open policy on original tweets, and in addition retweet of tweets on individual handle by request PMC on dev@; take up committer's request as semi-binding. In #1, the release-tweets are clear, so nothing else go through. In #2 PMC member can do a trust-but-verify that the tweet is relevant to Apex; which makes is semi-binding, not binding.
