I don't know of anyone who has committed all apache docs to memory -- I sure haven't. :-) The only reason I'm attentive to this detail is as a pmc chair myself I don't want account requests to be held up just because I don't happen to be around. >> But I think the issue is that PPMCs aren't real PMCs, > > Right. > >> so for the >> Incubator the request should come from a mentor. > > I'd prefer to say that the request must come from an incubator pmc > member. yes; I think what matters to root is that the request is made from somebody formally on the PMC, which makes this somebody easily verified by checking https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/board/committee-info.txt . Just like most of us haven't committed all apache docs to memory, root won't have committed the list of who is on which PMC to memory. We want to make it easy for root to process that account request. -jean > But then the ppmc member who is managing the new committer > process should ask an incubator pmc member to make the root request, > and that incubator pmc member would naturally but not necessarily be > one of the podling's mentors. > > Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
