Well, different policies make sense at different phases of growth. A new project is in growth mode and a major goal is to bind people into the project. C == PMC helps do that. If you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, then this is a pretty reasonable idea.
A more mature project has something to lose so there is a case that C != PMC makes some sense. On Wed, Dec 19, 2012 at 5:02 AM, Christian Grobmeier <grobme...@gmail.com>wrote: > > 2.
