Ok its been nearly a week and there is overwhelming support for doing this so I have gone ahead and made an update to the PPMC guide to reflect this. The text is a copy of what is already there for voting in a new PPMC member updated as necessary for being a committer. The new text reads: ------ Any member of the PPMC can propose a new committer. The proposal should be discussed in private on the PPMC private alias, with a subject line of [DISCUSS] Joe Bob as committer. If there is consensus that the proposed member is suitable, then there should be a formal vote in the PPMC private alias, with the subject line of [VOTE] Joe Bob as committer. The [VOTE] message should be forwarded to the IPMC ( priv...@incubator.apache.org) to notify them that the vote is underway. If the vote is successful, the proposer should send a message to the PPMC private alias, with the subject line of [VOTE][RESULT] Joe Bob as committer. Note that to be successful the vote requires at least one +1 from a poddling mentor, or, if no mentors are available from an Incubator PMC member. ------ ...ant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
