We generally shy away from discussing individuals on open lists w/r/t "this person should/shouldn't be a PPMC member" type things, so I'm not sure it'd be right to specifically point to any Sentry contributors as an example. I will say I can think of at least two Sentry contributors added since Sentry entered incubation who seem just as active as other folks who came in with the podling. When you say "reached PPMC status" I'm not sure there's a clear signal to me that they're less worthy than the folks ushered in with the podling. You said it "sounds like" making more folks PPMC members is "in the pipeline" - do you mean if Sentry graduates, or is there some other discussion I've missed where that's being pondered?
