Best practice for voting in a new committer?

[ant elder <an...@gmail.com>]

What is the current recommended best practice for a podling to vote in a new
committer?

The "Voting in a new committer" section at
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html
it suggests a private discussion followed by a public pro-forma vote, and it
has a link to discussion thread about this [1], but reading all the emails
in that thread it sounded like that practice wasn't so liked, eg [2], and
consensus had now changed to be that the vote should take place in private
followed by a public announcement naming those who voted in favour, eg. [3].


Whats the current feeling on this?

Thanks,

Hello Ant,

inside the Trinidad / ADFFACES podling we are following the pattern,
discussed on:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html

Inside of Apache MyFaces and Shale (for instance) we do the vote on
the private@ list and "only" announce it on our public lists.

For a podling I really like the "public pattern".
