Agree (I believe :) - at least this is my interpretation of what they say) with Bertrand, Phil, Mark.
It does not sound like you need to have ASF or PMCs for that. I think each of our communities can have their own way of communicating and promoting behaviours and good things. I see no particular reason why it should become an "official" ASF program. We want our communities to be self-driven without adding extra procedures and processes, defined and "official" at the top level, "ASF badge" and effectively a new ASF recognised "contributor level". For example we have a community driven (not PMC driven) monthly newsletter where we have "PR of the month". People in the community run a vote every month with some candidates and community members on the devlist can vote and propose their own and then the PR of the month is mentioned in the newsletter. We used to have "contributor of the month" for some time where there were micro-interviews with the contributor. All those things are great for the engagement (the discussions on PR of the month are sometimes more interesting than the result of the vote). None of those are PMC-driven, they are community driven and they require neither a blessing nor structured programs that would give them the official PMC "endorsement". There are ways you can surface the valuable contributions already without giving an "official" badge for that. J.
