However, in that case I would really like to see it that

Noel and I were chatting about this last night, and my position is
that I'm
okay with 'piling on' by ASF folks *if* the podling community is
happy with
that. If the podling folks do not want them on the initial list
and desire
that they earn their commit bits through actual participation, I'm
okay with
that too.
Noel's said that being the arbitrator of who is on the list should
be the
role of the Champion and I think that's probably as good as we're
going to
get. But, by the time the Incubator PMC votes on a proposal, that
list must
be set (i.e. no deletions after the vote concludes). -- justin

In addition I would like to add the process used for OpenEJB as the
gold standard for creating this initial list:
---
As far as how we came up with the commit list, it's actually pretty
neat. For the proposal, I added everyone who had commit. For the
actual giving commit, I was much more cautious. I created a status
file and gave people basically two months to add their name. I did
this for two reasons
1. filters the completely inactive and proves at least some level of
activity (you have to at least read the list and update svn)
2. a formal acknowledgment that you understand and agree with our
moving to apache and want to participate
We ended up with a smaller list of committers, but actually got some
old committers active again, so that was a big plus.
