Bobby,

Thanks for putting this together and my apologies for not providing feedback 
sooner.

The proposed bylaws  make a distinction between committers/(P)PMC members. 
Currently, all committers are also (P)PMC members. I think this works for the 
number of members we have now. If that list gets really big later, we may want 
to change the bylaws to make a distinction.

For code changes do we want to have some provision for getting changes in under 
2 days if necessary (e.g. an important security fix, etc.) and/or the ability 
to do lazy consensus for code changes?

Another thought I have is concerning changes made during release preparation. 
In the past I’ve taken some liberty here when small changes that don’t affect 
the main code or functionality (for example to the Maven build) are necessary. 
Otherwise, going through a 2-day vote for minor pom changes could adversely 
affect our ability to release. For example, if I make a mistake and need to 
need to do a `mvn release:rollback`, I would like to be able to just do it. 
Obviously major changed to the build (like when we switched from leinengen to 
maven) would follow the regular code change rules.

Other than those concerns, I think the bylaws look pretty good.
