If the accountable person fails, what can we do? Nothing. Our goal is not to have one person accountable, as we are all "accountable" as PMC members, but to have more eyes and hands working on it that are also on our PMC. As for the idea that more people makes things less accountable, it's vice versa at Apache. Put more committers on a project, and you will have more that will eventually do. All have to do the same thing, so none of them should assume that someone else is looking over it. Things are done on mailing lists, and if things do not progress, it's evident enough IMO. > Does it have to be formally done? There can be a single "Mentor" with > others involved and helping out. It does, as these Mentors would all be on the Incubator PMC, and all participate as Mentors in full. -- Nicola Ken Barozzi nicolaken@apache.org - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
