I think what I'm trying to say is that if we want to reconcile the conflicting aims of having a small manageable group who can communicate, and *reach**decisions* easily with encouraging large number of participants it needs to be in some way fractal.
What is there to be gained by giving every commiter access to jakarta-site2? or deadalus? filtering memberships & permissions and whatever else will strengthen, or at least not dilute, the "brand". Yet to encourage participation we need to have levels of membership which are comparativly easy to attain and bring with them some kudos. d. > Naw, I like the PMC being elected by the greater body of committers.
