I'm okay with both suggestions because it maps directly to how I thought
things were supposed to work (i.e., all committers in a project are on
PMC, only PMC members have binding votes for releases, PMC should be
monitoring all releases, and so on).  But I got out of the business of
trying to understand how things are supposed to work at Apache a couple
of years ago :)

You understand it right. We've been using semantics for a few years to avoid sweeping changes.

ie) PMC monitoring all releases = At least 3 PMC members voting for it, and a RESULT email to the PMC. Obeys the rules and the Jakarta spirit, though not the ASF spirit I suspect.

I also suspect that I'll need to post this to every -dev list. Given that there is no Jakarta community, I doubt everyone listens to this list. I was expecting an explosion from POI at the least :) [due to their legal worries over commit rights].
