Yeah, I can't really remember ever seeing that.
i was involved with something reasonable similar a year or two ago.
fortunately, the developer was good enough to be elected committer
before they'd finished the (extensive) preparatory work required.

I suspect it *does* make sense to bootstrap a PPMC before that PPMC
votes on a release. If you're not bootstrapped you shouldn't be doing
anything else. Can't quite understand what you're thinking of here.
thinking about whether there's a need to wait to release until the
PPMC is fully formed and representation of the podling committers.
PPMCs are typically filled up relatively late in the process - towards
graduation. (whether this is a good idea, i'm not sure.) if there are
just mentors on the PPMC then i see no benefit in waiting until the
PPMC is composed of a representation cross-section of committers
before creating a release.
