Kalwit, All the committers are invited by the PMC, you can reach out to priv...@pulsar.apache.org if you have any problems.
Being a committer is not only about doing code contributions, but also talking care of the project and the community. I am sorry to hear that you feel that your contributions are blocked, please start a new thread with this problem. This is a community, it is not a product managed by one single company.
