The Board passes a resolution establishing the PMC. That resolution defines who the members of the PMC are, and who the Chair is. Since the Board has very little visibility into the Ant community (i.e. who the stakeholders are), we'd look to them to provide the Board with the slate of people for the PMC.

Personally, I'd amend that (given my visibility into Ant community and all that) to be both long time *AND* currently active. Few have been committers to Ant longer than I have, but this year I have done a few commits at most. While I believe that I still have earned enough trust and respect to commit my own patches and vote on topics that I plan to actively participate in solving, I would not feel the slightest bit slighted if I were not included in the proposed PMC list. (Rest assured that I will poke my head in from time to time anyway).My personal recommendation is for a larger PMC (e.g. not limited to N people). In particular, the people who have been committers for a "long while" (basically, the long-time stakeholders in Ant). Over time, the PMC can vote to add new PMC members to itself.
