For any vote, committer or otherwise, the PPMC should do as you describe,
including notifying the Incubator PMC of the vote. In the case of most votes,
notification would be on general@, but in the case of a committer vote, it most
likely would occur on [EMAIL PROTECTED] The binding votes are those cast by
the Incubator PMC (exception: in the case of a vote for *PPMC* membership,
since that body has no legal standing, there is no need for Incubator PMC
votes) and follow standard ASF voting rules.
At such point as the vote is concluded, one of the project's Mentors, who is an
Incubator PMC member, should be acting on the result. Requests to root must be
cc'd to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so that would imply root@, private@, and [EMAIL
PROTECTED]
If at any point a podling feels that its Mentors are not active enough, they
should raise their concern with the Incubator PMC.
