BTW, I have no idea WTF is a IPMC, and who is and who is not.
The IPMC is the Incubator PMC. While Chemistry is still in the incubator
(it'll hopefully graduate once the cmislib release is done), all votes
have to be done twice. Firstly the vote happens within the chemistry
community, and needs 3 +1 votes from the PPMC (Chemistry project PMC).
Then, or possibly as part of that, the vote needs approving by 3 IPMC
members.
For the list of who's on the IPMC, see
http://incubator.apache.org/whoweare.html
http://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#incubator-pmc
Generally it's made up of Apache Members who have an interest in mentoring
and helping new projects, and a small number of committers from projects
who help out too.
The list of the Chemistry PPMC is on:
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/chemistry.html
and you'll see you're on that list.
Hope that clears things up a bit? There's more information on the
incubator site
