"Full (general availability) releases require 3 +1's from PMC members. This is unfortunate, but it's a requirement of the ASF's bylaws." - http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ReleasePolicy This does seem more consistent with other ASF policy I've read, and I agree that the build/README is more likely to be the one in need of correction. It also makes sense that the build/README could have been written on the assumption that all committers are PMC members. -- "The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'." - Larry Hardiman http://www.ChaosReigns.com
