I don't like that. I don't like that fact that from the start, those who are approved as initial committers aren't on the PPMC. If that means we need to trim the size of the initial pool of committers in the proposal, then I'm all for that. But restricting initial PPMC membership just to Mentors when those people who are the initial committers have (one hopes) already the long association with the code and the community aren't included in just seems wrong, and getting the podling off to the wrong start.
+1 For example, in an existing project like Wicket seeing who is proposed to be the initial committers is very relevant - especially if there were key members of that community that didn't want to be part of the project after moving to the ASF. Since individuals/community is of prime importance to the ASF, not including a list of initial committers in this example would IMO be bizarre.
