"Decisions regarding the project are made by votes on the primary project development mailing list (user@hive.apache.org <u...@pig.apache.org>). Where necessary, PMC voting may take place on the private Hive PMC mailing list."
It would be good if the "Actions" table included a column specifying which mailing list each type of vote should occur on. Also, at the first contributors meeting there was a discussion about the process for becoming a committer and whether or not people would be notified that they have been nominated, and hence know if they're nomination was later rejected. If these votes are going to take place on the PMC list I think it's important for this provision to appear in the bylaws. Thanks.
