That is a counter-factual question. That is not the status quo. We have no such rule. For example, we already have one committer who is not on the PPMC. I expect we'll have more unless a restrictive rule is imposed that requires that both roles be simultaneously assigned. The status quo is for a PPMC member to nominate a person and to specify what they are nominating the for. There is no further restriction. I'm not in favor of restricting this further. Are you? -Rob
