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).
