That's how I treat it - if I can get enough PMC votes without having to call a vote here.

I think it's unrealistic to expect that the majority of the members of the incubator PMC will be involved in most votes. I mean heck, I've rarely seen the majority of PMC members of any project be involved in ANY release vote, let alone in a situation like the incubator where many PMC members have little personal interest in the majority of the releases.
Yup - the Incubator is not a community. It'll always be a community of communities like the ASF.
Honestly though, if podlings are having trouble getting people on the PMC to review and vote on their releases I wonder if that says something in and of itself.
Usually that they predate the realisation that a podling needs 3 mentors to not have this problem. Hen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
