How about this:
+ Jakarta projects may also share existing packages by a 3/4 vote on the
(origin) project, with at least 3 "commited" +1. The projects shared by
jakarta projects do not need 3/4 aproval on the library list.
After all the original project knows the most about the contributed
package, and should be allowed to share ( after the contribution the
component becomes shared and under the control of library ).
