[Commons] Sandbox committer policy

[Yoav Shapira <yo...@apache.org>]

Hi,
In the past we on the commons-dev mailing list only allowed people who are ASF
committers already to become committers on commons-sandbox.  I was wondering if
this is an actual rule set forth somewhere in the ASF laws, or if it's simply a
recommendation/suggestion/practice that can be evaluated on a case-by-case
basis.  Thanks,

Yoav Shapira

Afaik, the rule is that any apache committer can be granted access to the
sandbox without any kind of vote. It doesn't imply that you can't vote a
new commons committer in for a sandbox'd component.

It's in fact where the Commons concept comes into play. Said new committer
cannot help but be enveloped in the Commons philosophy [and therefore ASF
way] after joining. Community oversight is achieved, and by the large
number of Commons members on the PMC, PMC oversight is achieved.

No problem in my view [sorry for not having read the thread on
commons-dev, work's been one long headache].
