  All these different mores that we're still learning.  Why is it not 
considered proper?

  Is it a problem that Gordon asked publicly?  Or a problem that he 
asked at all?

  I would have guessed a lot of people get themselves nominated as 
committers on Apache Projects by asking for it.  [Hopefully with a list 
of reasons why they are worthy].

  To Gordon [et all] In most cases thus far; it seems that PPMC members 
expect to see direct contributions to Apache Flex in order to vote 
someone in.  However, we have been making exceptions for Adobe folk who 
are working on specific 'large' Adobe related contributions.
