It seems that this thread didn't show in the dev list. Totally agree that we should make the committer nomination more formal.

As MXNet grows larger and the community involves, I think it would be very helpful to formalize the process and provide a clear standard for what are we looking for in the comitter proposal process, and allow us to evaluate based on the concrete evidence listed in the application to promote the comitters. This will setup a good standard for the contributors, as well as provide solid material to back our decisions. After did some search, I created this application template based on the committer application from Apache Mesos. I wrote it from the perspective of myself. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vKTgX1_EkAT7NSmaiBKBmbq DuhF9kQd53BB4iUxGn4M/edit?usp=sharing I would recommend this to become the mandatory thing for the future committer nomination and voting, as well as the re-evaluation standard of current comitters when we graduate from the incubator project.
