I would recommend a probation period, JAMES tends to let people find their feet as commiters then propose them for the PMC.
I agree with the probation period as well. In Struts, we look at PMC membership 6 months after someone becomes a committer. As long as they've stuck around and participated during that 6 months, we'll generally invite them to join the PMC. If they've faded away in that timeframe, then we'll let them go. This helps keep the PMC membership aligned with the people who are active on the project. (Active people do fade away as well, over time, so we'll periodically "prune" by moving people to emeritus status.) As a retrofitting measure, I also kinda like Phil's idea of allowing self-nominations. In conjunction with a probation period, this would help us "remember" who should be invited to join the PMC. -- Martin Cooper Sometimes its weeks sometimes months, but recently it is everyone and
