And my answer would be no, I am not.
But I am also disappointed with the way this list was created, and that
gives me one more reason not to be on the list or the PMC !
( I think most of the proposed names are great, but that doesn't mean the
process is right ! ).

And again, I agree with you. Tomcat is a reasonable stable and mature
project, with enough commiters - I don't think it needs too much PMC
attention. Smaller projects need that - and people who are involved in
cross-project would help much more.
But that doesn't change the fact that jakarta commiters should make the
proposals and vote. Neither the fact that this should have been discussed
on the general list before.
Yes - it would have been controversial and probably it would have taken a
long time to get an agreement.
( sorry, I'm not sure about this whole "have been" thing, it's not a
simple past tense :-).

+1 ( doesn't matter anyway - in the current rules only PMC members can
vote to add new PMC members anyway ).
