At some point, the nominee has to be asked, and accept, to become a committer. This would have to be after the private votes are done and before the public vote. So after the nominee accepts, they suddenly see a [vote] thread regarding their candidacy on the dev list and wonder what *that* is about. I think a public "welcome to the new committer" would be sufficient "feel good" instead of the phony public vote.I don't know all the communities around ASF, but what I have seen is that the "acceptance"/"decline" happens after the public vote. Entries to PMCsseems more like "private vote" -> accept/decline -> "welcome" in the communities I know of.Mind you, my own opinion in the matter differs from how things are done, for instance; IMHO either the vote is public OR private, and if the latter then don't have the charade on the public list. That would simplify things atIncubator as well. 1. [Discuss] on [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. [Vote] on [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3. [Vote] on [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4. [Accept/Decline] in private mail 5. [Announce/Welcome] in [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This is what I proposed to put into the guide. So at least two of us agree.
But I also put the "not necessarily recommended" approach into the guide for completeness. So there should not be any big issues.
