The incubator/sandbox components have already been discussed. j-c is incubator, commons and sandbox all in one. However the essential organizational difference is that j-c allows people who don't participate in a copmponent to get voting rights on a component. So even if I have never developed, used or partipated in any shape in form I still get right of veto.
I don't propose we adopt this rule though.
It is working though this process. afaik it has never been misused, it just can help sometimes if other people not involved have a look and give some feedback, if you think things are missing or not ready for release (for whatever reason).. Don't fix it when it aint broken ;))
I remember that I had a discussion with Peter on this one ;-) since I had vetoed something I hadn't worked on and it got Peter upset...
In truth, I made a mistake in vetoing, since I never wanted to stop Peter, it was just a strong opinion but I wrongly threw in a -1... (ya know, it happens that we use it in discussing, just for opinions, but when you follow 28 lists it sometimes happens to make a mistake).
Anyway, apart from that, which was quickly resolved, I think it's a point that is very important that must be discussed a bit more.
Well, only if Peter wants to expand more on this publicly, I mean.
I would be interested to see the reasons of the two approaches, and understand the issues both try to solve.
Personally I think that each committer has the same rights on all code, but I'd like to hear different opinions from others too...
