* Does the committers group really just contain all committers? the committers group in confluence is from LDAP so it should only contain ASF members
* Do we have enough experience to be able to say we can trust all of the people in this group to not spam confluence? I'm new so I can't really answer this question based on evidence but I suspect that we can trust our users * Are there any potential side effects of allowing all committers to add and edit comdev pages that I haven't thought of and that we should be aware of? Confluence keeps versions of all edits, and deleted pages can be recovered (though you didn't mention delete permissions), so if someone vandalized a page an earlier version could be recovered. Other than someone causing additional work to recover/remove spam I wouldn't expect anything unexpected (except maybe the Spanish Inquisition, no one ever expects that). There may be specific pages you want to add additional restrictions on though.
