No, it doesn't. We need to put as many as possible, hopefully all, but it's not required to be all. We can also have people that aren't committers on the PMC.
* We need to insist that all subprojects file regular reports, with some statutory bullets to ensure everyone is still thinking about consensus and oversight.
Erm, I'm not so sure that this needs to be legislated like this.
If anyone reading this message agrees, or disagrees, please respond to the "As it ever were" proposal under another thread. Let's see if we can build a consensus and then create and maintain a solution that works.
IMHO, the ASF Way *will* work if we let it; we've just never tried to let it.
I don't think that anyone is debating if the ASF works. I think we all know it does. I think we disagree what the "ASF Way" is - I think it simply requires inclusive participation on the PMC of those willing to feel responsible for more than just the code they are working on, namely project direction and oversight. Thus, the PMC does not necessarily mean forced 100% committer participation, although that percentage is the goal, nor does it mandate strict reporting schedules and reporting content and format.
I do believe that if we continue on the way already started - ensuring CLAs, putting as many active Jakarta committers on the PMC as are interested, educating them as to their oversight role, then we would be in a much healthier position and able to then grapple with the day-to-day PMC process. Until we achieve the former, the latter is somewhat of a intellectual game. As you like to point out, we all are adults working for the best interest of the organization.
Please work with us on this.
