I was going to post this on private@. But I've written it to avoid naming any names, so I'll post on dev@ instead, for the benefit of those not (yet) subscribed to private@.
========================= Please don't vote in response to this. I'm not putting forward a proposal, but just asking for comment. Since the most recent addition of committers, we've had contact from several other individuals. I've no knowledge of most of them, which makes it hard to propose them. I'm emailing these individuals privately to ask for a statement that can be used to propose them. When I (or any of the mentors) add a committer, one thing we want is a "vote reference". That's on record to document that the community has agreed on the candidate. I'll propose votes once I have sufficient information on the candidates. Note that in general, it shouldn't be just me proposing candidates here. We're all equal, and a proposal can come from anyone. So if you spot someone else making good contributions and think they should be committers, don't mail me, but propose the candidate here! -- Nick Kew
