Hi Jukka, Thanks for your feedback! I would be honored to be the PMC chair (if no one objects in the community). I'm also +1 for your proposal to include the current committer set on the PMC, and to come up with our own lower entry barriers for committership.
I'll work on the Board Resolution this evening and try and get something posted for a DISCUSS thread by tomorrow...
