Hi, > I guess after the LS PMC votes and determines to add a committer, it would > go the incubator PMC?
Yeah. The incubator PMC would be only a formality, they wouldn't even vote on it. So it would be: 1 - Nicko sends an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] say X has been a good contributor to project Y over the past N years (or months, or whatever), and that Nicko would like to nominate X as a committer on project Y. The subject of this message would be something like [VOTE] X as a commiter for Y 2 - PMC members will cast their votes (and ask for clarification, if any is needed) over some period of time, no less than 72 hours, and usually no more than a week. 3 - After that time, Nicko will send [EMAIL PROTECTED] another email, with a subject like [RESULT][VOTE] X as a commiter for Y and in that email tally the votes and provide a link to the voting thread archive. 4 - Assuming the vote passes, Nicko will send X an email inviting X to become a committer. There is a template for this email in the SVN committers repository. Also there is the CLA the committer needs to sign. 5 - If the committer accepts, he will fax his CLA to Jim, and Nicko will inform the PMC that X accepted committer status. 6 - Once his account is setup, Mark will let [EMAIL PROTECTED] know we have this new committer, and can they be nice and grant him karma on their repositories. As I said above, this step is merely a formality. Yoav
