i think this is fine. it brings our practice more in line with the legal realities of the organization. it adds potential for greater cross-pollination and lower barriers to resuscitating dormant projects. it's true that most of us committers are myopic and do nothing with the greater freedom, but the potential is there for some to more easily serve the community and their own needs through this. > 2) All vote threads to occur on the general@ mailing list; or the pmc@ > mailing list if deemed private. if you want all non-private vote threads to be CC'ed to general@, that's fine, but they must happen on the dev lists as well. i believe there are many narrow, non-committer participants who give good feedback and non-binding support who do not subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] i am extremely reluctant to give that up. > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Comments? > > The only negative I have for 1) is that I like to use the commit lists to > see who is on which subproject (for 3 PMC member oversight checking), but > that is a flawed idea anyway.
