He was also added without sending NOTICE to the IPMC. It seems he was added 
based only on code commits, I would expect the vote and discussion to include 
mention of wider community involvement.

I would say not, the responsibilities of being a PPMC member includes a lot of 
things other than code and being good at just the code part doesn’t alway make 
you a good PPMC candidate. Anyone who has a wider community view should be 
considered as a candidate.

IMO that bar is far too high, and I suggest the project needs to lower its bar. 
No one should have to be an expert in all areas to become a committer in a 
project. It would also be best to consider committers than contribute things 
other than code.
