Who We Are

Like all Apache projects Lucene has a PMC that is responsible for the oversight and management the Lucene project. Lucene consists of several sub-projects, each of which have their own diverse communities and distinct groups of committers. The PMC relies on the guidance of the committers from each sub-project, particularly in regards to voting on releases, and in nominating new committers.

PMC members have karma for the all Lucene code, but as a general rule avoid making changes to sub-projects unless they have explicitly been made a committer of that sub-project by a vote of the PMC.
