Yes, my mistake... I have to remember that instead of pmc@ we use general@
right now...

What I said was "but I believe that this group (as noted on the members
meeting this Tuesday) is giving away committer privileges a little bit too
easily"... I don't think that sound like "this is a resolution passed by
members" or "this is a guideline given at that meeting"...
To me it sounds like what happened: we were talking about what it does take
for one person to become a committer and/or a member, expectations and
bars... That's it... If I was misunderstood, well, sorry...

It is of general interest (IMO) because becoming a committer entitles you
not only to a little peaceful heaven in your own little project, but
entitles you (and, frankly, obliges you) to be a part of the Jakarta
Community at large. You will be given (for example) access to the
jakarta-commons CVS repo (if that didn't change lately), it entitles you to
put your name on the website and to elect the PMC.
And at large, it entitles you to have an @apache.org email address, to have
access to our live servers, entitles you to be a part of the whole Apache
family...
I'm sorry, but I believe that any time a new committer is made, we _need_ to
put some thought in what we're "giving away", we're not just letting a guy
commit to our CVS server...
Anyway, that's what I think....
