Podlings are encouraged to make all committers members of the Podling's PPMC. Thus, the vote to accept a new committer should also be a vote to accept a new member of the PPMC. The initial membership of the PPMC should include the initial committers, the Champion, and the Mentor.
Can someone with a thorough understanding of the ASF tell whether there are projects that keep a distinction between committers and PMC members, if so for what reasons and for what kind of projects might it be better to maintain this separation. I have very mixed feelings with regard to this subject and no experience at all, but I realize that as soon as all the committers are PMC members and making committer == PMC member turns out to be a mistake it is likely too late to correct it. Please enlighten me :-) -- Mark
