I hadn't realised that was the way things worked. I'd assumed (wrongly) that it was hard to become a committer. I hadn't realised that when I start submitting patches, it would almost be expected that I become one :)

There's a little problem with statements like this that we need to be careful about. If we get involved in doing lots of work that is involving lots of non-committers then we need to start adding these people as committers. As soon as someone starts contributing work on a consistent basis we need to invite them to become a committer. We should not have long, drawn-out efforts of work involving a lot of people who are not committers. We should instead have a growing community, adding committers on a regular basis. Greg
