list of committers ( most of them in the single PMC ).
Each PMC member can vote about any jakarta issue - including releases of
each sub-project, etc. If the distinction between pmc and committer is
fading, then I don't see why do we have to worry about separate karma.
A start could be to have every PMC member have karma in every subproject.
It'd be interesting to look at all the mail-traffic for Jakarta and
estimate just how noisy a single project mail list would be. Then maybe
instead of breaking it on code-base, we could break it on concept:
jakarta-bugs
jakarta-announce
jakarta-dev
jakarta-pmc
jakarta-ideas
jakarta-site
or something. I'm assuming it'll be too noisy, but it is a logical
question to ask based on Costin's ideas of opening things up.
I don't see the relation between karma and mailing lists.

Jakarta does have 2 "global" lists ( jakarta-general and pmc ), and as many sub-project lists are needed. A subproject can create multiple lists if needed/wanted, like commons.
i think that multiple lists divide the community and cause problems with oversight. my experience with jakarta commons is that a single list helps to create a community spirit and multiple lists divide this spirit. the avalon community are now strongly against multiple lists and turbine has moved this way also. i've read posts from people in both community expressing the opinion that multiple lists are unhealthy.
Each jakarta committer can be on as many lists as he wants. It would be good to keep track of what lists each PMC member is reading currently, or to do something similar with commons, where people add themself to
a list of "active" people when they are involved with a component. This will also answer the question "who is monitoring this".
seems reasonable.
