Manually adding technology-pmc on the CC is what I have in mind (don't 
do it now, it won't work yet). Again, the idea is that someone like 
yourself can use this mechanism to ask a question of the PMC without 
having to listen to everything else we're chatting about (I understand 
that email volume is a sensitive issue).

I have filed a Bug 256789 [1] (and copied you on it) asking for 
clarification.

Let's see what happens with the bug. In the meantime, give us the bug 
numbers and I'll start going through them. In the worst case, you'll 
have explicit PMC approval when you don't need it.

You're welcome.
