The incubator projects i've been involved in have all had at least some of mentors stay on the PMC when graduating. It certainly wont hurt having some extra people around who are familiar with both the project and the ASF. In this case when the proposed PMC is so small i can't see why you wouldn't want to add them, to avoid the problem of needing 3 binding votes when someone is out on holiday, or even if just to save getting bogged down in general@ debate on whether the PMC is big enough to graduate. It does look at little odd to enter incubation with 4 committers and leave with only 3 on the PMC but still the original 4 are all active enough to have just voted for graduation on the click dev list. Also, about 10 people voted on click-dev for graduation, are any more of those active enough to be made committers and pmc members? What is the diversity of the three, do you all work for different companies? ...ant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
