I would go one further - I'd expect at least some of the mentors to be
members of the graduated PMC for some time. Without that, it is quite
possible that we have a PMC that has no ASF members on it (of course,
not all mentors are ASF members). Given that ASF members are the glue
that keep the foundation together, having some members on every PMC is
important.
And in fact is the one form question that gets asked by the board when
looking at the resolutions - "Who are the members?".
Cliff Schmidt
Paul Fremantle
Yoav Shapira
Scott Deboy
and most recently help from Craig Russell
Paul and Yoav have indicated they will be remaining on the PMC post
graduation.
