IMO this highlights one of the problems: ATM pmc's do not need to commit to
anything other than a vague promise that they'll consider accepting the
podling after graduation. if they decide that they don't want the podling
then they can just ask that it becomes a TLP. so, voting +1 has no cost to
the pmc.
IMHO it would be better to ask pmc'er to vote not for a passive sponsorship
but an active promise to commit resources to provide oversight for the
podling.
