My vote goes with the standard Apache way of doing things, which appears to be Option #2.
As I think Greg Stein pointed out in another posting (I'm still catching up with the list after my email outtage) this project is world wide, across many timezones, so we need to make sure there is enough time for people to respond to votes etc.

With two options on the table, I think we need to put this to bed quickly so I am calling for a vote between the two following options:
Option #1 from Davanum Srinivas: Step #1: 1 week of Nominations. Existing committers can nominate new committers by sending a note to the dev mailing list. Step #2: One of the ASF sponsors consolidates the list of nominations and starts a VOTE on the dev mailing list. VOTE is open for 1 week. Existing committers can use +1/+0/-0/-1 to indicate their preference in an email to the dev mailing list. Step #3: ASF sponsor conveys the result of the VOTE to the incubator PMC and asks for permission to add the new committers.
Option #2 from Ryan Ackley: Step #1: Any committer can propose someone as a committer at any time. The proposing committer generally lists their contributions and why they should be made a committer. Step #2: Any current committer can vote on the new committer. The vote is open for 3 days and requires consensus ( three +1's and no -1's) as per http://incubator.apache.org/drafts/voting.html (note this is a different link than Ryan's original) Step #3: A positive result is handled as per http://incubator.apache.org/drafts/newcommitters.html
We go with whichever option gets the highest score after three days (+1's less -1's) unless the outcome is obvious.
My vote: Option #1: -0 jboynes - I think we should use a standard process from the beginning for all committers rather than a custom one
Option #2: +1 jboynes - It's the normal process
