1. The Java and Python drivers hold special importance due to their language proximity and/or project's dependence upon them (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-8%3A+Datastax+Drivers+Donation#CEP8:DatastaxDriversDonation-Scope) 2. Datastax is explicitly offering all 7 drivers for donation (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-8%3A+Datastax+Drivers+Donation#CEP8:DatastaxDriversDonation-Goals) This is the most complex contribution via CEP thus far from a governance perspective; I suggest we chart a bespoke path to navigate this. Having a top level indication of "the CEP is approved" logically separate from a per-language indication of "the project is ready to absorb this language driver now" makes sense to me. This could look like: * Vote on the CEP itself * Per language (processing one at a time): * identify 3 PMC members willing to take on the governance role for the language driver * Identify 2 contributors who are active on a given driver and stepping forward for a committer role on the driver * Vote on inclusion of that language driver in the project + commit bits * Integrate that driver into the project ecosystem (build, ci, docs, etc) Not sure how else we could handle committers / contributors / PMC members other than on a per-driver basis.
