Yup, but I'd like to add a third one: - the podling has voted in a new committer, but only because the committer was 'discovered' by the mentors It is hard work to keep track of contributors and identify those with enough merit, when you are busy solving licensing issues, releasing and trying to keep your project going. Wouldn't a community only be ready when they themselves are capable of looking beyond their own coding, contemplate what's happening in their community and take necessary action? While I understand that Mentors should prod the community into action at times, but shouldn't Mentors also take a step back and let the community become enlightened by themselves?
