Hi, This is breaking off a separate discussion for the thread Sravya started [1]. Specifically, the part around whether Sentry should move from a model where Committer != PPMC to a model where Committer == PPMC.
Background: It's been two years since the Sentry project entered incubation and over that time we have welcomed many new community members, as committers and contributors. However, we have not added any new PPMC members over the same time period. This is concerning because building a successful community means growing committers as well as growing the PPMC. At the same time, we have strived to be a very open community, and involve everyone (not just PPMC members) in project decisions. As Arvind mentioned [2], there have been few instances, outside of committership/board reports, where the PPMC made decisions outside of the dev list. Given that we have a) in some ways implicitly been acting in a Committer == PPMC model already and b) have many new folks in the community from when the project started, I think we should revisit this topic. I want to hear everyone's thoughts on whether you think we should go with Committer == PPMC model for Sentry? Logistically, this would mean all existing committers would become PPMC members and there would be no distinction between committer and PPMC member moving forward. Feel free to also chime in if you disagree with my assessment above.
