The original problem I raised was allowing individual users to update the Attic website to fix problems. I suggested enabling the attic Unix group for this - rather than attic-pmc as at present - but this was not universally liked. There is less overhead voting in a committer compared with a PMC member. But a one-off vote to allow @members adds a lot of potential committers without need for further individual votes. > vh > > Mads Toftum > -- > http://soulfood.dk
