Where are you seeing this "over-reach" problem to which you refer? I have
heard of a few isolated incidents, and those can be addressed. But by far
and way, the biggest complaint is LACK of involvement, e.g.,

And most cases of PMC members getting involved in projects of which they
aren't a Mentor have been with respect to release packaging, where the
involvement has generally been valid and valuable, even if bothersome to
those whose packages weren't quite up to snuff.
But, seriously, if there is systemic overreaching, lets address *that*
issue.
