Proposing new committer - which mailing list to use?

Proposing new committer - which mailing list to use?

am 18.04.2007 15:52:00 von sebb

The page

http://jakarta.apache.org/site/roles.html

mentions that existing committers can propose new committers by e-mail
vote - however it does not seem to say where to send the e-mail
proposal.

It mentions setting the Reply-To to private AT jakarta when sending
the invite - is the private list also the correct place to submit the
initial proposal?

Can anyone advise please?

Just in case the proposal fails, I don't want to cause hurt to the
person by raising the vote on a public mailing list such as this.

AFAIK, yes!

Just have done that and the voting has been going on on private. (Even
if it was the wrong list, you would be pointed at, I am sure! ;) )

Unfortunately, we're quite inconsistent in the way we do these votes at Jakarta.

That was a different kind of vote.

Which may be because the process is not fully documented.

Yes, I suspect its been "you do what you've seen done on such
occassions in the past" sort of thing.
