First off, just in case this is unclear, this is how commitership works. The vote for new committers must take place on the private list and only PMC votes are binding. Only committers to Apache RocketMQ are given access to the Apache git repos. As I understand it this is for some external GitHub repos(?) It's a little confusing as: - We have a vote occurring on an Apache list for something that is not part of an Apache project - It’s unclear who votes are binding (it should only be PPMC members) - This seems to have just sprung up out of nowhere, although I may of missed the discussion? I really would of like to have seen this discussed on list by the PPMC and others before calling for votes. I think it would of been better to just ask for volunteers to help out (preferably committers) and give any who asked the access privileges to those external repos or to have simply given everyone equal access. In general votes other that for releases or new committer and PMC member should be rare and only used once the issue has been discussed and consensus has been reached. Thanks, Justin
