I don't think who is a committer, a commenter or a contributor is a time sensitive decision. A few months ago - Justin McLean was doing so much work as a commenter / contributor, you wouldn't have known he wasn't a committer. His devotion and time commitment was so impressive that he was invited and approved quickly because his devotion was so meaningful. He is a good role model for all of us.
But the exchange between Erik & Om brings up a question for me. There are several people who are on the committer list who haven't commented, haven't contributed via this mailing list, haven't opened or closed a JIRA ticket, and probably haven't done much in several months for the Apache Flex project. Would the project be hurt if those who are no longer dedicated & available enough to participate be removed as committers? Is there a data security reason strong enough to remove their access? I know their reputations & the project would benefit with their participation - however, for some, there has been 6 months of silence. Half a year of no contribution / participation seems too long.
