Most of the older projects at the Foundation do not have PMC == Committer. Notably, httpd. The notion that committers are automatically PMC is a fairly new innovation. As it happens, it's an innovation that I wholeheartedly support and recommend, but it's a minority of projects that have this policy. If you follow board reports, you'll notice that PMC additions and Committer additions are seldom coincident. -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
