So you took those on the PPMC and put them on the PMC, and those who were 
committers remain committers.  The other option many podlings take is to put 
everyone who’s part of the podling onto the PMC.  Either is fine, but the 
podling should discuss it and agree.  I haven’t seen any discussion so far 
beyond this thread, but perhaps I’ve missed it.

Also, did you have any feedback on the recommendation that you keep at least 
one of the mentors on the PMC?  Again, I think this should be discussed in the 
podling.
