I understand your concerns. But the text doesn't mirror my experience.
Firstly, not all TLPs require active committers to be on the PMC. For
example the WS PMC has plenty of committers not on the PMC.
Secondly, being on the PMC is not a huge burden, except maybe the
chair who has to write the reports. Otherwise, participating in
discussions is something we all do (like this one). I'm on two PMCs
and it isn't a burden to me.
I respect your issues and I think its acceptable to have committers
who are not on the PMC. The main reason to encourage committers to be
on the PMC is that you only get Apache legal protection if you are on
the PMC. So for legal reasons its better that committers are PMC
members.
Are you sure?
I thought the whole point was that releases must be voted on by a
quorum of PMC members in order to get the legal protection for the
release. That is why it is important to know if release votes are from
PMC members or not.
