[sakai-pmc] grant Ben Holmes commit access to Signup tool

[Anthony Whyte]

I asked Neal to post new committer requests on the PMC list rather than on the infrastructure list in order to ensure that PMC members are both informed of such requests and are provided an option of raising an objection.

I recommend that the PMC approve new committer requests, emulating Apache practice [1].  Whether or not recognizing a new committer requires a formal vote is worth discussing.  Personally, it think approval by lazy consensus sufficient--others may disagree (and should say so).

As we move to Github a new definition of what constitutes a Sakai "committer" may well arise.  We may decide we need rather more contributors and fewer committers (i.e., those with a right to merge a pull request to our core repos).  Then again, we might simply grandfather in the current set of active committers.  Either way, the PMC, in my opinion, should decide such questions, either formally or via a lazy consensus.

Cheers,

Anth
