+ Proposing a new committer
+
+ If you want to propose a new committer, you should send the following
+ information to the appropriate entity:
+
+
+ - Information on what established (FreeBSD) track record the
+ nominee has. This is not optional; it has become
+ standard practice over the last couple of years.
+ - Who has volunteered to become the mentor for the new
+ committer.
+ - The email address of the nominee (remarkably often this
+ is omitted).
+
+
+ Responsible party for this procedure is:
+
+ - src --> core@
+ - doc --> doceng@
+ - ports --> portmgr@
+
+
+ You will get ACK after the message is seen, and core@ and doceng@
+ will give you a response in <= 7 days. For them, timeout is set
+ at 7 days. Portmgr@ may need more time to reach a decision.
+ If voting finishes earlier then the nominator/nominee are informed
+ earlier.
