Feedback requested: New committer invitation template

Hi, In order to simplify the process of granting new committers write access to a project's repository, I'd like to propose a change in the invitation letter sent to candidates after the PMC has voted to accept them as committers. The original is at https://community.apache.org/newcommitter.ht

Re: Keeping PMC communications public when possible -- is an obvious-looking address responsible?

Update to web site

Hi, I made an update to the new committer guidelines at http://community.apache.org/newcommitter.html to clarify that after a successful vote, there should be a message with subject [RESULT][VOTE]. The update failed because of permissions. Could someone on the PMC review the change and commit
