Seems the new components were created by the folks who had Project Admin permissions: in our case all of the PMC have that permission [1].
One solution is to remove PMC from project admins and establish a process of "requesting creation of new components" in the dev list. I think it is necessary, because it will be only harder to keep track of PMCs creating new components on the go. WDYT? Any other alternatives?
