Hi Taylor, Thanks for the input; it's always valuable. :)
We have discussed it a bit here and there. Initially upon project creation we did vote to prefer review then commit as opposed to the other way around (discuss thread here <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-metron-dev/201512.mbox/%3CCAHfHakFfqmGkmbMdY7FZGYZGyKoNS2=zh8kewjqdyot+ofj...@mail.gmail.com%3E>, vote thread here <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-metron-dev/201512.mbox/%[email protected]%3E>). Most recently, we had some discussion surrounding the bylaws on this thread <https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-metron-dev/201607.mbox/%3CCAPpQHK0-2My86z-DtXCshrZcqMt5kQP8SmB=mbrb6lmfudx...@mail.gmail.com%3E>. Specifically, I'm linking the portion of the discussion around what is different from Apache. On Wed, Aug 17, 2016 at 6:50 PM, P.
