Let's be clear, it wasn't an election to a PMC, but to the IPMC that I opposed. Members of the IPMC have a vote on ALL podlings, whether they earned merit there or not. It is a very confusing message for new valued contributors. And it wasn't their ability and willingness to supervise a podling, but on the fact that they had successfully RM'ed a release [reading all the docs and rules along the way]. There is an impedance mismatch between serving a PMC and the IPMC. Please don't mis-characterize what I concur or disagree with. We'll be far more likely to come to consensus if you [collectively] quit doing so, and quit relying on ad hominem attacks. It's especially important for a potential committee chair, since the important parts of your writings are potentially dismissed. Otherwise, thank you for responding to my RFC. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
