2) are the initial committers and mentors PMC members and should theyget the PMC role?Yes, the initial committers and mentors are PPMC members. I have not seen any special privilege in JIRA for the PMC project role. So I don't think it really matters whether they are assigned that role or not.This actually depends on how the project works, actually. There's no hard and fast rule that dictates the initial committer list == PPMC
Thanks for pointing that out. This is a guideline, not a rule. From http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html
"The Podling Project Management Committee (PPMC) helps a Podling learn how to govern itself. It works like a PMC but reports to the Incubator PMC instead of to the ASF Board. Initially, it is composed of the Podling's mentors and initial committers. The PPMC is directly responsible for the oversight of the podling and it also decides who to add as a PPMC member."
So even though it's not a rule, I expect that the podling would have to have some good reason not to adopt it.
