There is none published and none communicated. It appears that an arbitrary, unknown set of criteria hold, with no mechanism for discovery or feedback. >From what I can see, it is in fact nothing more than a club of insiders. If I do have an opportunity to be a PMC member, I will vote for anyone who volunteers to be a committer on the spot. I would rather bring them inside sooner than later, and deal with any personality issues after the fact. Placing an arbitrary, unknown barrier over entry is a sure guarantee for stagnation, and if you ask me, that is where FOP is at this time: stagnated. Only Andreas seems to have devoted a new burst of energy to the process of late, while others appear to have other commitments that prevent them from contributing except on an occasional basis. In such a case, I can't imagine why anyone would turn down a volunteer to actively participate, other than perhaps turf protection. I guess I must threaten someone's turf. G.

Otherwise, it is a pointless exercise. My conclusion is that since findbugs does indeed identify some real and potential bugs, that it is worth using and that a zero findbugs policy should apply. Well, while findbugs indeed finds real issues and improves maintainability of the code, I don't think I'd have enough time to commit myself to examine each and every findbugs complaint carefully, rather then just plaster it over with an exception, and I think it's the same with Jeremias. This doesn't mean "we throw it out." As of now, anybody is free to run the findbugs target and fix issues which come up. Installing a zero findbugs issues policy is a rather drastic step, which will, believe it or not, raise barriers for contributions, divert resources and possibly have some other undesirable effects, like name calling on public lists. Unless we all are convinced we have the resources to lead by example and that the positive effects of a "zero findbugs issues" policy outweigh any possible drawbacks, running findbugs should be voluntary. However, saying all of the above, the largest barrier I see to fixing bugs in FOP and improving its quality is the reticence of the clique of FOP committers to accept new committers. Uh oh. As a PMC member I'm certainly guilty of not following contributions closely enough. Nevertheless, rest assured this has nothing to do with some elitist attitude but rather with a "I hope someone else will deal with this kind of aspects" stance, aka a sort of laziness. I do not expect you to show sympathy for this now, but in case you get the possibility to recruit someone else, and realize the procedures necessary for this, you'll understand it better (I might get some fun out of reminding you of this message then).
