Hi,

Although I have a hard time understanding why people who deserve to
accompany a podling on graduation do not deserve being on its PMC, the
solution is simple: the newly established PMC just needs to
re-establish those people as committers, and it can do this as soon as
the graudation resolution is accepted by the board.

How they do it is up to them, lazy consensus ("we're going to re-add
those people as committers unless someone objects" on their private
list would work for example.

As far as the board resolution is concerned, only PMC members are
relevant, at the foundation level we don't care who the committers
are.
