There is technically no PMC for the spark-ec2 project (I guess we are kind
of establishing one right now). I haven't heard anything from the Spark PMC
on the dev list that might suggest a need for a vote so far. I will send
another round of email notification to the dev list when we have a JIRA /
PR that actually moves the scripts (right now the only thing that changed
is the location of some scripts in mesos/ to amplab/).

Thanks
