> I don't see the distinction between a PMC member and a committer. <<grin>> You catch on quickly. :-) The difference is that a PMC member, as a normative statement, has a binding vote on the project. By allowing someone to become a Committer, you allow direct contribution to the codebase, but the PMC is overseeing it. The Committer contributes, but does not have a say. So there is a natural progression from:
Contributor (patches) -> Committer (authorized access) -> PMC member > If the PMC membership requires legal and governing skills, I am > not sure the PMC can attain vast majority. It doesn't. 300+ Committers are already doing most of what they need to do, without the benefit of being on a PMC. > Is there a legal binding between a [PMC] member and Jakarta/Apache > that does not exist between a committer and Apache?
