I presume that a "commons committer" would have commit access to both old commons and Language Components? Having a separate commit list would set the barrier to high for movement between the groups. Actually, the proposed "jakarta-wide" commit access would be even better. Regarding sandboxes, the issue is really where the commit mails will go. An experimental project that hopes to be promoted to community X really should have its commit messages go to the mailing list for that community. Other than that, what *is* a "sandbox" exactly? In general, though, the split-off of Jakarta Language Components seems wise. Commons email traffic is a pretty hefty burden, so halving it for people only interested in one of the two new commons pieces is good. I believe there are enough people interested in each community to allow the separate pieces to thrive. Of course people should be encouraged to subscribe to both where possible - and general always!
