What defines those groups is not the software bits that they produce, but their overall goals (getting OpenStack to run on Windows, supporting PowerVM technology in OpenStack). The repositories that they maintain is just a means toward this larger end, and a lot of their work is actually done within existing repositories from other project teams. [...]
This brings up an interesting question, though. The contributors to those Winstackers and PowerVMstackers repositories today are able to vote in technical committee elections. Should we consider an amendment to the charter to include contributors to SIG-owned repositories in the TC electorate?
100% yes.
E.G. - Someone who contributes to the api-sig repos is as deserving of a vote for the TC as someone who commits to designate / glance / nova neutron.
(I used api-sig as an example, as I think pretty much anyone who has committed there already had a vote due to other openstack commits, but if we are going to move into a situation where we would remove peoples ability to vote we should adjust our processes to avoid it).

FWIW - we have also tried to include SIG activity as criteria for AUC status and voting in the UC election. VW -- Matt Van Winkle Senior Manager, Software Engineering | Salesforce
