So I’d like to add non-coding committers, I think there is great value in both recognizing them and eventually having a broader PMC (eg maybe someone who’s put a lot of time into teaching Spark has important things to say about a proposed release, perhaps important enough for a binding vote).
That being said I think that my view is not aligned with the rest of the PMC and I believe it is important that we work together so I’m ok with exploring things like Spark VIP (I think in Kafka land there is an MVP of the year concept but I need to talk with folks over there more for ideas on how they run it). I like to think the Apache way is broad enough to allow for variations like this to be explored in different projects while sharing what has worked and not worked historically so that we can all build healthy OSS communities.
