Re: [DISCUSS] Have every committer on the PMC by default

[Hadrian Zbarcea]

They can indicate the same by doing whatever they want to do, nobody 
stops them to self elect and do whatever they like, scratch an itch. 
They prove that they understand the ASF values and they get voted in. I 
am not ok with providing blanket binding votes in this community where 
proper mentorship has been a problem. I do encourage however any 
committer to be proactive and do all the management he's interested in. 
I encourage any contributor to keep contributing, improve their skills, 
and *their* project (activemq) and become, if they want, committers 
(speaking of which, doesn't necessarily need to be only code, I got a 
lot of complaints lately about documentation). They all got my full support.

What is the down side?
