I took a look. From a community growth perspective, I see them adding new committers, which is a good thing. What I don’t see is any discussion at all about adding PPMC members, nor any discussion about why they chose to go the Committer != PPMC route. In a thread related to the first new committer being added [1], it is pointed out that the podling website stated that Sentry was Committer == PMC, but that the new member vote was only for Committer. At that point it looks like the website was updated to reflect Committer != PMC. From that point on, all new member votes were for Committer only, and there were no discussions regarding adding new PMC members or promoting committers to the PMC role. What I find slightly disconcerting is that there doesn’t seem to be any consideration or discussion around growing the PPMC and why that’s important. Sure they have 20-odd PPMC members from the initial committers list, so it would take a pretty large exodus to render the project unable to function, but I don’t see anything to indicate that they understand the function and importance of growing the PPMC. If I’ve misinterpreted anything, please feel free to correct me. -Taylor [1] https://mail-search.apache.org/members/private-arch/sentry-private/201402.mbox/%3cCAHUddLNXceMb0xnk=1GEb6tVmCshYQMFe=zcpplgfcwgg+f...@mail.gmail.com%3e
