If you clearly knew what you were doing, you'd get voted onto the >PPMC pretty quickly, and thus you'd be able to vote on your releases. My concerns with this is that: 1) I think there is more to PPMC membership than just voting on releases. I think the first major votes for Apache Flex was what the project icon was going to be, and voting in new committers. 2) I thought the main thrust of this thread is about what to do when mentors get too busy. If they are too busy then either they won't grant worthy podling newbies the right to cast binding votes on releases, or they will do so too hastily. All I'm suggesting is that there is an existing list of qualified folks that is much larger than the IPMC to help back up busy mentors and allow a podling to get a release out. If you think that "all TLP PMC members" is too wide a net, the backup could also just be "any ASF member". -Alex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
