Delegate implies designated authority/responsibility, more than "maintainer" or "member", I think. The PMC role is delegated by the ASF Board (usually lazily, upon notice by existing PMC members). So, I think the word technically works here, but I won't argue that it's that much better than "PMC me

I totally get the problem. I think if we can find a suitable title for PMC Member we could socialize it in a few years. Should have done this years ago. But "Maintainer" does not do it for me. Keep looking... Craig > On Mar 23, 2024, at 01:47, tison wrote: > > Hi, > > Random thought. > > Yo
