AFAIR, that was never *my* understanding. AFAIK, that has *never* been the way the incubator has worked. Every podling has supposed to have had a PPMC. If I'm wrong, please correct me; where did you (and evidently others) read whatever it was that said a TLP PMC could serve for a podling? > If you ask me setting up a separate pmc for these projects is an > incrediably bad idea.

I believe there are two options: 1. Submit the code through the IP-vetting process. The people join the TLP dev mailing list and earn merit for commit over time like anyone else. 2. Submit the code+people for processing through the incubator as a podling. The committers get commit access right away, but now it's both the code and the community that's being vetted. And the eventual disposition of the podling is not a foregone conclusion. There is no fast-track to commit access. > I would like to know, why have the incubator rules changed to, in my > opinion, force all projects TLP?
