It doesn't. People were just being pedantic and untrusting of podling participants. Committers have accounts, not formal standing in the org. There is absolutely no reason for the IPMC to inject itself in a podling election of a new committer, so let's just leave oversight over the voting process to the mentors. As a matter of fact, we don't even need to document a standard for committer promotions- projects and podlings alike are free to experiment with whatever process they deem appropriate. Case in point is the Subversion process, which essentially promotes new committers through lazy consensus alone.
IOW +1 to roll back to pre-May 1, 2007. ----- Original Message ----- > From: ant elder <ant.el...@gmail.com> > To: general@incubator.apache.org > Cc: > Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 3:04 PM > Subject: Re: Podling new committer votes > > Ok seems everyone so far is ok with changing this, so how far can this go... > > In the "experiment" Joe commented "...basically rolling back the > clock > to May 1, 2007 on guides/ppmc.html" which is this change > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/public/trunk/content/guides/ppmc.xml?r1=517024&r2=542806 > which added "Only votes cast by Incubator PMC members are binding". > Before then podlings did their own committer votes and the Incubator > PMC weren't involved. > > Good we go back to that?
