We sort have stalled out on this. I think the above is great, but the open question is who applies the above guideline to folks requesting membership in provenpackager. Robert had a proposal for this, but FESCo didn't like it. ;( I would like to propose several possible options and ask for feedback on them: A) Provenpackager sponsors are set to FESCo members and RELENG members. They apply the above guideline and approve people into the group. (This would be a smaller pool of people than C below). B) Provenpackagers submit a request to FESCo and are voted on in meetings and approved by a majority vote. Note that this doesn't scale too well if there are a lot of requests. C) Provenpackager sponsors are set to the same as Sponsors in the packager group. Anyone in that pool can apply the above guideline and approve someone into the group. Anyone have other proposals or like/dislike any of these? We need to get this finished. kevin
