Care to elaborate? The policy appears to be: invite to be a committer whoever you want as long as you can get a mentor to request the account. "There are no ASF wide rules..." There are a few extra steps in the case of inviting a new PPMC member. I think we can do better to guide the podling to adopt a process that is in use by the great majority of TLPs. It is fine if a TLP has a very casual approach to committers. Some, who came to Apache after establishing their community processes, will invite a committer by one PMC member sending an email and receiving no negative responses. This is consistent with the Apache Way but I don't think it is a good example for others. It is much more scalable and easier to provide tooling if a TLP actually does follow a script: discuss, vote, invite. And I believe that we should encourage podlings to follow a script until they decide they don't like it and are willing to document their decision in their project bylaws when they graduate.
