Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] PMC Approval Lag?

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know anything about the inner
workings of the Tools project, but I noticed the RT project recently nominated
a representative from each sub-project onto the PMC. That way, each project
can just take care of their own elections and there is no worry about having
to explain context to a PMC member who knows little to nothing about the
project. I wonder if that would help with the Tools project as well. It
seems unreasonable for Doug  or David to have to judge what is best
for Mylyn or Buckminster, or for them to be the gating factor in committer
elections on those projects. Anyway, I'm a complete outsider on this but
thought I'd throw out the suggestion...
