I would suggest you listen to mentors and your champion at this point ;-) Regardless, here is what is important : " There are no ASF wide rules on how to decide when to make someone a committer, podlings need to agree an approach that works for them. Some ASF projects have a high bar requiring significant contributions before someone is considered, other projects grant it more freely to anyone who shows interest in contributing. Some projects use formal [DISCUSS] and [VOTE] threads on the private mailing list, others use a more lazy consensus approach.' (http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html, adding new committers).

I really do think that providing motiviation for each of the comitter is a bit over the top. The IPMC role is not to validate this list, it's really to check that the project is moving forward in the right direction. When Netbeans will be a TLP, the project's PMC will be responsible for selecting whoever they want to become committer, nobody else than the PMC will be selecting them. The PPMC being a PMC in the making, it's responsible to vote in new committers - and make them added by an IPMC member -. It's then up to the PPMC to define the rules they want to befollowed. In other words, do what you think is the best for the future TLP that nebeans will become :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
