- When we see new people who are committed and consistent, we will discuss

- We conduct the vote on the private PMC mailing list to enable a frank

- In most cases we will be inviting people to go straight from developer
- to PMC member, i.e. they simultaneously become committer and PMC

- However, when we invite a new committer we do let them choose not to be
- on the PMC, though we do not encourage that.

- However, there may be extraordinary cases where we want
