Hello, Raymond, My suggestion is to update the TSC Charter. Compared to OpenStack core reviewer/contributor maintenance, often feel that OPNFV governance brings lots of inconvenience:
For example, if one wants to submit a patch, he/she usually has to be a committer in OPNFV before he submit a patch. But in OpenStack, anyone is able to submit a patch, and core reviewers will make sure this patch should be approved or not. If one is nominated as committer to be a core reviewer, and pass the voting, then any other core reviewer can add the new one to core reviewer list, but in OPNFV, you have to submit a patch or ask help from help-desk. And another example, I seldom find that there is a stepping down notification in OPNFV mail-list from committer(yes, I saw some PTL stepping down notification), it seems not the fashion in OPNFV. But in OpenStack, a core reviewer is quite important role in code review, if he is not able to do the core reviewer responsibility, he will send a notification to the OpenStack mail-list. I really don't know the reason why when we find some committer is inactive in the past 6 months, we need the approve from TSC?

The PTL should not do this unilaterally. Please see the 8th paragraph in the Section 8 of the TSC Charter (https://www.opnfv.org/developers/technical-project-governance/tsc-charter)...

I have one suggestion for the maintenance on committer list: for those who have shifted interest, for example, not shown in the weekly meeting and mail-list discussion ( all these could be found in the log) in the past 6 months, but they forget to send a stepping down notification in the mail-list, PTL should be able to move the committer to the contributor list by default, and update the list in the git repository too. It's not good idea ( not polite too :-) ) to send mail to ask "hey, would you continue to contribute in the project, if not, I'll remove you from the committer list".
