Totally agree, and believe you are well over due on getting committership status. Process wise, I'd recommend that, at least during incubation, all committer votes be held in the PPMC privete list, as they will need further approval from IPMC before the contributor can officially become a committer. After IPMC has approved, then the community can decide what to do, but sending a [NOTICE] e-mail to the dev list welcoming the new committer seems to be the common practice for podlings at least. As for who should start the vote, I also agree that this should be started by one of the current committers of the project and not a mentor. -- Luciano Resende http://people.apache.org/~lresende http://lresende.blogspot.com/
