Hi, Jeff,

Thanks for your reply; it makes perfect
sense to me.  It'll nice to be an expert in something.  ;-)

I'll make sure that my friends in the
Modeling project know about this new service that I can render to them.

Cheers,

Christian

Christian, 

This is not a hard and fast thing by any means.  Basically as a point
of manageability, it would be better to not have a committer per library
:-)  Some projects, especially ones that have a large number of bundles,
will have more committers, some will have a small number (perhaps even
none if they can convince someone else to do the work).   The observation
is that by calling out who from a given area (project, subproject) has
the skills, knowledge and commit rights to work in Orbit, we increase the
efficiency and effectiveness of the shared approach.  So to that extent,
the PMC that needs to approve third party code use in your part of the
world should know about you and your involvement with Orbit so that that
involvement can be used to its full extent. 

Make sense? 
Jeff
