Craig,
in my mind, it's not the number of steps that we eliminate, it's the
message that we send. Instead of saying you all are *under* the
microscope, we say that real quickly a few of you will become part of
the microscope and look in on not just yours but also other
podlings...my 2 cents.
I think your comment is in regard to Joe's other proposal that all
committers become part of the incubator PMC. I didn't address that
proposal here.
Craig
thanks,
dims

The first idea should be fairly straightforward: that for
the projects I participate in (so far thrift and sis), that
the IPMC delegates to the PPMC the decision-making process
for voting in new committers: basically rolling back the clock
to May 1, 2007 on guides/ppmc.html.
Before we set ourselves up for disappointment based on unrealistic
expectations, this proposal is fairly modest. Here's the current
process for
getting new committers into an incubating project:
1. Identify candidates
2. Discuss candidates on podling-private
3. Agree that candidate should be a committer
4. Vote on podling-private
5. Wait for everyone's vote
6. Inform incubator PMC of results of vote
7. Vote in incubator PMC if not all three mentors have voted
8. Invite committer
9. Send ICLA
10. Wait for ICLA registration
11. Send root request for committer
12. Wait for root to create account
13. Update asf authorization file for new account
14. Done
All this proposal does is to eliminate step 7 in the case where the
Mentors
are AWOL.
That said, I support the idea behind this modest proposal, and just
need to
see the details (several modifications have been proposed). Infra
also needs
to support this proposal, as the main reason for item 7 is to get
root to
recognize that the incubator PMC has taken official action (three
votes in
favor of a new committer) which has been an infrastructure
requirement (also
part of the details).
