So that can support both models as all committers can be brought aboard if it fits, or over time if more suitable. I was also confused about this as I heard one thing from Noel and one thing from Jim, but the mentors deciding seems sensible as projects can be dealt with on a case by case basis. I don't believe committers should automatically be made (P)PMC members as to me it's a different level of understanding and commitment. > -garrett > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
