It might make sense to have the community choose its PMC and for

the other thread Jacek had specifically requested two people be
added and that request was missed somehow. That is what really
caused me to move to a +0 but that was probably more my ignorance
in how incubator does these things.
The PPMC starts with members of the Incubator PMC (in our case our
Mentors Jason, Brett, and Henri). Then people were added over time.
Doing the PMC == commit thing is interesting, but no Apache
project has ever done that and don't really know that'd I'd want
to be the first, especially as we've done so well at keeping the
dev list as our "center of gravity".
Alrighty, something was not jiving with me and so I went back
through the archives and for some reason a few of the e-mail in the
thread never made it to me. It looks like, based on Brett's
response in the discuss thread that the normal incubator policy is
to go forward with the existing PPMC. So, for my part I'm cool and
will upgrade my vote to a +1. Thanks for the clarification.
I spent quite a bit of time re-reading e-mails last night and finally
posted a question to general to get a clarification on the PMC
formation and it seems there really is no hard and fast rule. Its up
to the project. Re-reading Brett's e-mail he was merely pointiing
out that the list was about the status of the group and that the
proposed list was for the PMC and that committers retain their
status. It was not a policy statement. As such, given the amount of
discussion in the community and requests to expand the PMC I think
that this issue should be addressed before we graduate as it
certainly shows the community working together to come to an
agreeable outcome.
