Would that also apply for (sub)projects that in turn have (sub)components? The point I was trying to make earlier was that if a committer is voted into a component of MDT, for example, I'd expect the approval to be announced at the MDT PMC level (i.e. an email sent to the mdt.dev mailing list), not necessarily at the Modeling PMC level... I would expect to need Modeling PMC approval for addition of new components (and component owners) to MDT but not for new committers for existing components... Or am I mistaken?

Re: [modeling-pmc] GMF Committer Vote for Boris Blajer
Rich,
Yes. So we should expect to see a note posted to the modeling-pmc mailing list by a project lead (PMC member) giving their approval whenever a new committer is added to any model project. That note will be interpreted as approval by the PMC (and if someone does have a concern, that's an opportunity to express it).

But they’ll need to ask for approval on the PMC mailing list, as a formality it seems. Just to be clear.
Thanks,
Rich

Rich,
Yes, that makes good sense. And since every project lead is a PMC member (a pattern we probably want for the new projects as well), that means projects can handle the issue entirely within their domain.

Great, thanks Bjorn.
I'm assuming nobody has an issue with this, so let's move to the any PMC
member is sufficient to consider Committer additions approved model.
Best,
Rich
