[science-pmc] Getting new committers onboard for Science projects

[Erwin De Ley <erwin.de.ley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Science PMC colleagues,

We've been in touch with someone who is preparing a very interesting 
contribution for Triquetrum and is interested to become a committer.
Christopher and me would definitely like to have him on-board and his 
work would become a strategic part of Triquetrum.

I've hit a procedural wall not so long ago when trying to get Jonah 
accepted as a Triquetrum committer, while still with the technology PMC.

So I would like to know what the procedure is now for the Science PMC.

- Can we accept that project leads are able to decide who can become a 
committer?
- Or do we still need some "red tape" like e.g. first go through a CQ 
and me committing his work and then using that as merrit to get him 
accepted?
- Or...?

thanks
