But the Mentors have the only binding votes, as PMC Members. And this is
why the process includes:
- The PPMC (Mentors) elects additional PPMC members
And from where do they get such? FROM THE INCOMING COMMUNITY, of course!
And from where do they, we, or anyone, find out who is active? From the
people they've just selected to help manage the project.
You are missing the point that the entirely simple process outlined is
nothing more than a mechanism. The policy that drives it is another matter
entirely, and we all expect that the polices should be proper, open, and in
the ASF spirit.

How do they stop them from piling on? Should I got dig up your complaints
about people piling onto projects? Or everyone else's?
