Per the project bylaws (http://logging.apache.org/site/bylaws.html), it appears that both a subproject (described in the actions section) and PMC vote (second paragraph after Committers) are required to grant new commit rights. This message is to inform the PMC of the results of the subproject vote and to initiate a PMC vote to confirm the log4j vote.
This is kind of surprising. I thought the bylaws say lazy consensus of the PMC, not a formal vote, so all that was required is a message from one of the log4j committers to the logging PMC saying "hey, we've voted this guy in, so unless you have any objections, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking for his account..." But if a vote is required, here's my +1 again. On a separate note, we should remove these bylaws altogether. We just had a discussion about this on [EMAIL PROTECTED] (see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=incubator-general&m=116405409724466&w=2 for the key message). Apparently project-level bylaws, like Jakarta's from which we copied ours, are invalid in the formal sense that we seem to be applying them here. Yoav
