It's ultimately the PMC who is responsible for the functioning of the Lucene project (which implies all of the subprojects) and the PMC reports to the board. They pretty much run themselves, but every now and then we deal with making sure a project is running smoothly. We also try to make sure the PMC has representation from all the projects (usually at least 3 from each). Individually speaking, It's also the next level of merit/recognition for long term committers. > > You can read about the PMC here: http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html Especially the FAQ > > > Jason Rutherglen wrote: >> Congrats Mark!
