-1 from me.
I agree with what Justin and Jim said and I don't see how having just
the mentors decide improves scrutiny over having them in the proposal
and giving the whole Incubator PMC the opportunity to express an
opnion.
If a proposal comes with a long list of proposed committers or people
"piling on" - then its more likely to cause objections if its been
scrutinized by a wider audience than omitting the information from the
proposal and leaving it to the mentors to sort out.
