It might make sense to have the community choose its PMC and for

the other thread Jacek had specifically requested two people be
added and that request was missed somehow. That is what really
caused me to move to a +0 but that was probably more my ignorance
in how incubator does these things.
The PPMC starts with members of the Incubator PMC (in our case our
Mentors Jason, Brett, and Henri). Then people were added over time.
Doing the PMC == commit thing is interesting, but no Apache project
has ever done that and don't really know that'd I'd want to be the
first, especially as we've done so well at keeping the dev list as
our "center of gravity".
Alrighty, something was not jiving with me and so I went back through
the archives and for some reason a few of the e-mail in the thread
never made it to me. It looks like, based on Brett's response in the
discuss thread that the normal incubator policy is to go forward with
the existing PPMC. So, for my part I'm cool and will upgrade my vote
to a +1. Thanks for the clarification.
Heh, I like the idea of PMC == committers as a goal as it really does
make no distinction and everyone owns the project.
Good luck.
