I propose that Pig become a top level Apache project.
The Pig development community has already voted on and approved this
proposal. In summary, the community voted that all current active
committers (listed at http://hadoop.apache.org/pig/whoweare.html ) as of
August 18 2010 should become PMC members, and that Olga Natkovich should
be the PMC chair. They also agreed that adopting bylaws should be among
the first tasks of the new PMC. Full details of the vote can be seen at
