TLP-itude means the following: 1) Mahout has it's own PMC. That group will vote on committers, releases, and other legal issues.
Funny, it's a short list, isn't it? There are many things we might want to do that will be easier to organize if it's just 'us chickens' that have to decide, not that the existing Lucene PMC has been obstructionist. Of course, I write 'us chickens' when I'm likely to be just a committer due to my relatively recent arrival, but you know what I mean. One particularly attractive idea is apparently to go create subprojects, since Apache doesn't do sub-sub projects. In the sort term, I'd counsel against a rush to subdivide, but that's just me.
