There are, as I see it, 2 issues being discussed:
1. Is the Initial PPMC the Initial list of committers noted in the proposal. I think we've all expressed views in one way or another. 2. The CXF-specific issue: that the initial list of committers was not only NOT the initial PPMC, but some of them weren't even granted initial commit privs. I'd like to address #2 because I feel that this is something I should have noticed sooner. I didn't. And I take responsibility for it. When all this started coming down, the 1st I heard of it was an Email to some people saying that we should have a ConCall about some issues that they had been discussing privately: 1. That the initial list of committers included people who "should not" have been on the list 2. Setting up the PPMC. At this point, I must admit that I made a fatal mistake: I looked at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/cxf.html to refresh my mind, instead of http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/CeltiXfireProposal regarding the committer list. So when we discussed all this via Email, I was looking at the *current* list of people with cxf commit privs as compared to the full list of *who should have had them*. As such, when some people were trimmed from the cxf list, with their approval, that did not fully resolve the whole issue. But I had thought that it had: no one was removed without their OK and we had a commit list that everyone agreed was a good PPMC list. You see, that was what I was focused on, so much that I didn't really see the other issue. Again, I admit it. Anyway, as mentioned in a previous Email, my hope was that we could setup the PPMC quickly so that other committers could be added in soon, as chosen by the PPMC. In fact, there is an Infra request to create the cxf-private list for the PPMC pending. My assumption was that the list on the site matched the list that was on the proposal, and that the main issue was people who had commit but really shouldn't have in the 1st place. That *was* one issue, but not the only one. In any case, had I truly understood that, I would have urged that we contact those who had not had commit privs yet, and let those who had questions or issues with them being on the list address them... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
