So to confirm I have this right...
A PPMC can vote to add a new ASF committer. They don't need a binding
IPMC vote (ie: no mentors, no [EMAIL PROTECTED] people). ?
Hmm. Regardless of what that documentation says, I think that's wrong.
Pragmatically...
* New account requests are only to be made by PMC chairs
(or trusted delegates I guess), and CC-ed to private@
* New account requests should only be made after a CLA is
recorded, and a PPMC doesn't (always) have access to the CLA
registry
(this from memory, I haven't read the new account docs for a while).
Principally...
* getting 3 binding +1s from people on a formal PMC established by
the ASF board doesn't seem to be too "heavyweight" for something
as significant as creating shell/svn/email accounts and handing
out other committer privileges
I think the vote should be by the PPMC, but there should be enough
PMC members casting a vote to make it "super-duper-binding". That's
what we did with harmony while it was incubating (eg votes on harmony-
[EMAIL PROTECTED], mentors always casting votes, too).
cheers!
