I mean that if you are having a vote, just let the rest of the PMC know
about it.  We don't vote in dark corners (discussing potential committers in
private so as to avoid embarrassment and facilitate honest discussion,
aside).  The PMC is collectively responsible for all projects under
Incubation, and ought to be kept aware of what is happening.  Do you have a
concern about that?

That's fine, and frankly, that's also behind the recommendation to have at
least three (3) Mentors on each PPMC.  Allows each PPMC to be as nimble as
necessary.  Mind you, if a project doesn't have at least three PMC Members
monitoring the list, then it won't have sufficient binding votes without the
rest of the PMC knowing, anyway.
