There is no formal PPMC. When a podling is created all initial committers are equal. I guess some podlings might create the concept of a separate PPMC during incubation. I've never advised that in my own podlings (probably because I'm a believer in an absolute minimum barrier to entry). I guess it's up to individual projects and mentors just as our top level projects can decide if the PMC is the whole set or a subset of the committers On 25 Jul 2014 00:33, "Justin Mclean" <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote:
