My understanding is that when a podling graduates to a TLP, all committers automatically become PMC members of the TLP. Correct me if I am mistaken.
Can someone with more experience of this process please comment on how projects handle this? Particularly wrt initial committers, who, like god-parents, are often chosen for their virtue and wisdom rather than their willingness to get their hands dirty changing diapers. I think that a bloated PMC prevents effective governance, and that now is the time to prune. Should the initial committers be given a chance to renounce their comittership? Some other mechanism to prune? Julian
