> Being on the PPMC also entitles one to a binding vote (on releases etc) This is true but a release cannot be vetoed, so a binding vote here is of little value. The purpose of binding votes is that the PMC needs to stat that the ASF is entitled to release the code under the Apache License v2. A +1 indicates that the individual feels this is the case and are willing to be state it publicly. There are a few other procedural items that PMC membership is important. My point was that not being on the PMC doesn't limit ones ability to participate.
