But i think this might be one of the reasons thats causing the poddling reviews and votes to be less than perfect - they're seen to have so little value. I've seen at least one poddling not bother with a formal vote on their dev list and just going straight to a vote on general@, and I expect some mentors dont bother checking during the poddling vote very carefully these days as they know its general@ where it all happens. Isn't to stop that mindset one of the reasons why the poddling committer/ppmc dual voting process got changed to be just one vote on the poddling lists? ...ant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
