On a side note, not that we should necessarily consider this... but
it's worth mentioning that there's a social factor to all this as
well, right? I mean, let's be honest, it'd suck to be the new guy/gal
voted in as a committer-only to Forrest knowing that all before you
are PMC members as well. I suppose I bring this up because whatever
course is taken, it should probably be all or nothing -- in other
words, we either say everyone goes through the commitership->pmc
incubation->pmc track or everyone goes directly to PMC as it is now;
there's not enough objective criteria to distinguish between the two
on an individual-by-individual basis.
This is an interesting point, I agree with it.
I also agree. It would be interesting to hear Anils take on this since
some projects have given their GSoC people "simple committership". I
did check with Anil that he understood why we were not doing that, but
it was a private discussion so I don't want to repeat his words.
Anil, perhaps you can give us a sentence or two on your take on this. Do
you feel that it would be better for you to have simple committership or
to work, as you are doing.
