hi David,

(I copy your response from PR to here)

> There's already a lot of manual steps involved in becoming a committer.

Do we have documentation for the manual steps? If so, I'm + 1 to create an
orphaned branch to store the extra committer list, and could you please add
this new step to the document.

> Generating "Reviewers:" strings automatically.

We already have `reviewers.py` which can generate the strings. Or you are
taking about "approvers"? (
