Well, PMCs are formed by the board when a project moves to top level

that works tends to differ a bit between projects. Some mentors

off with just the mentors on the PPMC, and then invite project
members
as time goes on (or that's the impression I've gotten). Others just
start with the whole group of committers plus the mentors on the PPMC
(that's what we did with Abdera).
I think starting with the mentors is the wisest choice as at that
point any committers can be brought aboard if deemed fit. So that
can support both models as all committers can be brought aboard if
it fits, or over time if more suitable. I was also confused about
this as I heard one thing from Noel and one thing from Jim, but the
mentors deciding seems sensible as projects can be dealt with on a
case by case basis. I don't believe committers should automatically
be made (P)PMC members as to me it's a different level of
understanding and commitment.
