update to match new project PMC policy

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  In addition, there are some actions that are purely development-related,
  so they do not fall under the PMC mantle.  Of course, people who happen to be on the
- PMC tend to do these, but committers could as well.  Then again, a
+ PMC tend to do these, but committers could as well:
- committer who was this active and responsible for the project would
- frequently end up being a project management committee member.

  Developers and contributors who contribute too much good code and not enough bad code usually become committers.
  
- Committers with a long history of significant involvement in the advancement of the project and project development (ideally in more than one way), a strong ability to work with others in the ASF way, and who are not jerkwads are generally nominated to be on the PMC.  After the PMC has voted to add a new PMC member, the ASF board has to approve new PMC members; this is discussed [http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html on how-it-works.html].
+ Committers should probably ensure they're subscribed to [http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#other the 'committers' and 'community' ASF mailing lists].
  
- There are no hard criteria for either of these roles: not lines of code nor number of patches.  If you're interested, you can always send a message to the PMC to ask where you are on the radar.
+ We have adopted a policy whereby virtually all active committers are
+ on the PMC.  Here's how this works:
  
- Committers should probably ensure they're subscribed to [http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#other the 'committers' and 'community' ASF mailing lists].
+ Any committer who (a) is not already on the PMC, (b) has been a committer for
+ at least 6 months, and (c) has made a commit in the previous 3 months, may be
+ offered an invitation to join the PMC. After a committer becomes eligible, a
+ notice will be sent to the private@ mailing list, and allowed the usual 24hrs
+ lazy consensus vote.  Assuming that vote passes, the offer should stress what
+ it means to be part of the PMC and that acceptance is an indication that they
+ want to be involved. If they accept the offer, they are moved onto the PMC.
+ 
+ Any PMC member who has become inactive for a period of 6 months (ie. no commits
+ or participation in the PMC/Development community) may be marked as an
+ "emeritus" member of the PMC.  At any time, an emeritus member can declare that
+ they are active again, and the emeritus status will be revoked.
