LOL Sorry to hear it, but I must have missed the part where you were so
acting.

I hope so. We *all* seem to be in violent agreement on the subject.

I am, for the moment, dismissing the infra issues. Not that I am missing
the point, but becaue we already have a very old precedent for it: the
projects@ mailing list. So we can probably adopt a similar approach with
Commons.

Should not be, no. Consider your comment:

That's long settled. :-) If a PMC votes that they are going to take
collective responsibility for a project, we have always considered that to
resolve the diveristy requirement.
Components intended for Commons should come through Incubation, but
depending on the nature of the offering and the desire/willingness of
Commons:
1) Use IP clearance; admit the new committers to Commons and train them
there to be good ASF citizens, alongside their Commons peers.
2) Bring them through Incubation, as we've done (for example) with
Sanselan.
Do we agree? Is there anything unsettled except for the infra issue?
