As I mentioned in another (ignored) thread, I support that moderators are committers and admins are PPMCs. Why should they be treated different? Every forum PPMC should propose a new forum-committer (aka moderator) on the ooo-dev list of course. But THEY know better than any other PPMC what the nominated guy has done. They should be able to get 3 votes and vote somebody in. In addition, I support the idea that moderators (aka committers) and admins (aka PPMC) can gie the volunteer role to a user of their liking without asking the ppmc. > I'm not sure that is really compatible with the idea of a project-wide > meritocracy.
