This is a valuable argument but my preference is that we begin with Daniel
and possibly consider this opportunity in the future: I think it is
important, for the continuity of the history of the project (before/after
graduation), to assign the PMC chair role to the most influential person in
the FreeMarker community (which is also an ASF member); also, at the moment
there are no issues in identifying +3 active PMC members and my hope is
that people will stay involved with the project because they care and not
because of the responsibility assigned to them.
