As a result we must now "manage" a specific committer's activities. We trust all of our folks at the start since we vote them in and see it as a chore to have to manage anything at all. We, the PMC, feel very good vibes from people like yourself who have the right intentions. </pmc-memeber-hat-on> I personally feel bad that I did not have the time to help when you needed it with your patches: which all btw met our criteria.
