Sorry, but nominations for membership, commit status, or PMC membership really should be private. I absolutely will not participate in such an environment, and will encourage others to avoid it also. These kinds of discussions really don't enhance the community.
Greg,
At a minimum, please acknowledge that a large number of ASF commiters have never participated in (or even have access to) private ASF mailing lists, have only seen commiter nominations done in public (and many have done so themselves), and the only PMC nominations that they have seen have also been done in the open (Jakarta, XML).
