I think there are some issues with that approach.
* Being listed in the initial committer list of a proposal is not
sufficient justification for granting a binding vote. Each individual
needs to demonstrate merit in the context of incubation and there needs to
be a VOTE.
* When it's already excruciatingly difficult to get IPMC members to
review releases, making such reviews optional just means hardly anybody
will get around to them -- even if they have the best of intentions.
* Under this model, a first incubating release could be approved with solely
PPMC votes. We need more accountability than that.
