             Summary: Provide easy way to vote new PMC members and committers
                 Key: WHIMSY-358
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-358
             Project: Whimsy
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Roster
            Reporter: Craig L Russell


It should be easy for PMC members to elect new committers and PMC members. The roster tool already provides for making changes to the PMC roster via simple push-button. But there is no provision for electing new PMC members or committers.

The roster for a PMC should provide new buttons to initiate votes, vote, and close votes. The buttons should only be available to existing PMC members.

To initiate a vote, a new screen allows the nominator to enter the full name, optional github id, optional apache id, and a paragraph of why this nominee should become a PMC member or committer. Email is sent to the private list with a link to the PMC roster so PMC members can vote. All current votes are listed when PMC members visit the roster page.

To vote, a new screen allows any PMC member to view all comments and to vote. The vote is recorded in a file keyed on the PMC name and the full name of the nominee. 

To close a vote, a new screen allows the nominator to record success or failure of the vote. Success for a PMC member sends email to the board, cc the PMC list, and starts the 72 hour timer.

When the 72 hour timer expires, a new button appears which allows any PMC member to finalize the process, update LDAP and committee-info.txt, and send email to the PMC list.
