TODO: <Project Name>: PMC roster

This file is a placeholder ahead of the release-management skill family landing. None of the release-* skills exist yet, see docs/release-management/README.md. The roster below is what release-vote-tally will read to classify each [VOTE] reply as binding (PMC member) or non-binding (committer / community).

PMC membership for <Project Name>. Update every time a new PMC member is added per a [VOTE] thread on the project‘s private list or per a Board resolution removing a member. Authoritative source is the project’s record under <projects.apache.org>; this file mirrors it so the tally skill can resolve a From: address without hitting the public LDAP every run.

Roster

Apache ID	Name	Primary email	Binding since
<TODO>	<TODO Member Name>	<TODO>@apache.org	<TODO YYYY-MM-DD>
<TODO>	<TODO Member Name>	<TODO>@apache.org	<TODO YYYY-MM-DD>
<TODO>	<TODO Member Name>	<TODO>@apache.org	<TODO YYYY-MM-DD>

A [VOTE] reply counts as binding when:

1. The From: address matches a row's Primary email exactly, or
2. The From: address contains @apache.org and the local part matches a row's Apache ID exactly.

Rule (2) is the fallback because PMC members occasionally vote from <id>@apache.org rather than the Primary email recorded here. Personal Gmail / corporate addresses MUST appear in Primary email to count.

Resolution

release-vote-tally's resolution algorithm:

1. Normalise the From: header to local@domain form.
2. Try exact match against Primary email (case-insensitive).
3. If domain == apache.org, try the local-part against the Apache ID column.
4. If neither hits, the vote is classified non-binding and surfaced for RM review.

If a binding voter casts a vote from an address not on this roster, the skill flags BINDING-CANDIDATE-UNRESOLVED and refuses to count the vote until the RM either (a) updates this roster to include the address, or (b) confirms the vote is non-binding.

The roster is the source of truth for the tally skill. The skill never infers binding status from message content (e.g. a sign-off that says “PMC member” does not promote a non-roster voter to binding).
