I don't know abut the IPMC itself, but I always try to communicate that to podlings I mentor with a "commit priveleges not rights" kind of email after the first committer is voted in (or earlier if discussions take a "we must protect ourselves" turn). > Does anyone point initial committers > to the committer welcome mail templates that various projects use? Yes, I encourage all my podling projects to use slightly modified versions of the templates over on ComDev [1], although I discovered today that there are templates in Incubator too. I just added the following to that template, based on the quote above: "These privileges are offered on the understanding that you'll use them reasonably and with common sense. We like to work on trust rather than unnecessary constraints."
