They _will_ be apache people. I'm personally very uncomfortable with the term 'apache people' - any commiter is IMHO an apache person. Some with a big mouth, some not. But all are equal as commiters in their project - there is no hierarchy. Only the PMC, which thanks to Sam does act as it should, like a 'secretary' or 'administrative' entity. I'm also very unhappy with the xml/jakarta separation and the balkanisation of apache - as well shown by the current maven/forest/cocoon/centipede discussion, where even xml.apache.org is affected by jakarta's NIH. So I'll be -1 ( as a jakarta commiter - my vote obviously doesn't count for that ) on another apache.org fragmentation.
