Hey Danny, To my knowledge, there wasn't any communication about this approach on list with the PMC.
Regarding PMC membership and employer: >From what I can tell, of the active people in the PMC, everyone is employed by the same employer (JPL). Since November 2018, goodman, lewismc, and huikyole have pushed at least 1 commit to master. It's possible others are participating via other means and I haven't noticed. I'm far from active so it's not impossible that I'd miss it. Of all the people on the PMC, it looks like about 21 of the 30 are currently or were previously employed by NASA or JPL. There's a few names I don't recognize on there so it could be slightly more or less.
