Hi Greg,
Not the PMC, but the WGs.
As Mike asked, I'm perfectly willing to assume best of intentions when I find something I don't like. I agree that's a very healthy position to take for all of us.
I'm very willing to accept that there will be growing pains, and we'll all try steer things in the right direction until we've built something truly great.
However, I'm also very wary of bad actors (and by that, I not only mean bad intentions, but also selfish intentions), and prefer to have as many Ts crossed and Is dotted whenever we can, before somebody does try to take advantage (since it's very naive to believe somebody won't do so at one point or another).
My take on this, currently, is to avoid any concentration of powers on any level of Jakarta EE, be it down in the nitty-gritty of any sub-projects' code base, all the way up to the PMC and WGs.
I'd like to nix future issues in the bud. I don't think anybody expected things to get as "draconian" in the JCP when Sun originally set their charters, and such.
That's the problem with having "nobody would do this" holes or permits in a charter. Everybody truly believes nobody involved would ever do such things (and they'll most probably be right) until somebody comes along that would do so, and then everybody is bound hands and feet
