Sorry if my actions caused any trouble. I'm not a PMC member and shouldn't have nominated Bryan or Todd before asking about the process. However, I'm still arguing for more reviewers/committers in general, I think Thrift's development is being hindered by the lack of people who can act on tickets, which leads to external people become frustrated and to not participate more actively. For example, THRIFT-129 (the most popular ticket) was reported on 2008-09-02 and last updated on 2008-10-23, but nobody committed the attached patch. Cheers.
