The Apache way is *"community over code"*, as a healthy community we should encourage community growth. IMO I do not consider adding a new member to the initial committer list as a big change to the proposal. In fact, now I believe if we had a separate VOTE for him, we will not have this much tra

C'mon Tim this was not done as a "social norms can be overridden/bullied occasionally by headstrong, salty old-timers" thing at all. It was something that seemed small and simple and innocent. However if its such a major thing then the PPMC can vote Debo in as soon as it starts. No biggie. Honest.
