Absolutely. It is crystal clear that the decision to grant committer access to a project lies solely with the project itself, not the PMC nor the ASF board. (I mean "project" in the Ant, Avalon sense, not the Jakarta sense.) Having said this, there is nothing wrong with discussing criteria for proposing committers. In a conversation I had with Stefano Mazzocchi a long time ago, he outlined the reasons for his liberal policy (for granting commit access). I tend to oscillate between a liberal policy and a conservative one. A discussion on this topic is very well deserved imho. >Costin -- Ceki ps: The tomcat developers should complete the vote on Dan's candidacy.
