Hi Jeff... I am new to this whole thing, but IMHO this is only an initial list, and it will be updated. The list contains suggested members for the project's PMC not committers at all levels. And even if some of the listed members were not so active recently but they are among most experienced people of this project. I am not commenting or arguing your decision, but I wanted to declare my opinion for two things, first you may send comments on my opinion and then I will learn :), second as part of my commitment to this team and it is a duty to declare my opinions which I hope they are for the benefit of this great team.

Actually...I have thought about this...and I have some reservations about how this is graduating. I had to step back and look at the email lists and contributions, and discussions of this project. There are several folks who deserve to be a part of this initial group. I see people who have been much more active than some on this initial list. There have to be some hurt feelings here, as I know I am. I don't believe this is a way to start off a project by making an elite group. It is against my ideals of having a special group, and its somewhat of a slap in the face of those who have been contributing in one form or another. Therefore, I am changing my vote to -1.
