More precisely, those committers that are also PMC members have the only binding votes, but the votes for new committers themselves *must* be held in public, on the developer list.
oh, I have had in mind that it should be a good to do those votes on PMC list.
I think we asked that during early incubator times.
I have in mind that some reasons were: a) new committer is not selected b) new committer is not interessted
that cases are not fine for the PMC/committer
If our thought was wrong, please excuse us!

Are you not subscribed to that list?
The PMC list is only for committers who are then elected as PMC members.
I can't get to www.apache.org right at the moment to get you a pointer to the processes document (infrastructure remodelling is going on this weekend), but you should review those processes carefully.

We voted also Stan Silvert and Heath Borders as MyFaces Committers.

If I got it right Sean is a MyFaces committer now. As Sean is contributing a lot of stuff for MyFaces, +1 on that. We had some lively discussions in the past, anyway: Sean, welcome on board!
But I've a formal question regarding things like that: who decides about new committers? Isn't the policy to have a vote on topics like that? (I searched the archives so I suppose I did not miss a vote)
