The nominators are generally the committers on the lucene and solr projects. There is a list of those on the website under "Who We Are". Yes, I am one. The PMC then votes - there is also a list of who is on the PMC on the website.
The history is, generally you just wait to be nominated. Everyone has their own criteria for nominating and voting. Because most were brought in using similar criteria, people tend to use the same criteria when they then start nominating others. There is something of a culture we are attempting to guide. - Mark On Nov 26, 2012, at 2:43 PM, Per Steffensen <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok thanks. Guess you are not ready to nominate me for now.
