I would agree with that provided that we require other voters to document what they have actually reviewed in the release, something like: -PPMC members review their release and create a text file in the incubator's svn repository, based on a template that indicates what needs to be reviewed in a release -At least one Incubator PMC member reviews the release, updates the file accordingly, and their +1 vote along with the usual PPMC vote validates the release -For the first release we require at least three IPMC members to participate, instead of just one. This would provide good oversight, while helping educate the PPMC members and keep a good record of the release requirements that other podlings can use as examples. And make sure people's +1s are based on something tangible and documented. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
