AIUI IP clearance was intended to provide a way for the IP on medium sized code contributions to be cleared in a transparent fashion IMO accepting a codebase through IP clearance from a small community then electing the prime contributors as committers is a clear way to game the incubator system as currently set up IMO the prime reason why TLPs prefer to take this approach is that the IPMC has failed to create an appropriate path whereby small codebases with small communities can be adopted by a larger apache community - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
