A separate comment indicates that this is the practice for other projects, and it is the ideal case.

Are you a moderator of ooo-private? <orcmid> No, I am not a moderator of ooo-private. However, the automated crosscheck.html report that Sam Ruby's script puts into the ooo-PPMC private SVN confirms who is on ooo-private as part of the cross- checking. </orcmid> That approach could work, especially since we're supposed to subscribe to that list using our Apache alias. > 3) Who will do the updating? > <orcmid> > I will do it initially.

Would that yield a list of PPMC members? Or is that really just a committers list? <orcmid> I don't have visibility on any authz related to the ooo-PPMC private SVN. It is a sub-tree of repos/private/pmc/incubator/ and I don't know how it is authorized. </orcmid> [ ... ]
