There is only one thing that would *really* change and that has not been done till now.
Committers could be given commit access long before having project member status, and would thus be able to commit but not vote. This makes it possible to keep a high bar for membership of the project but a lower bar for committing.
Is this possible/wanted?
I think the problem here is when:
1. There is a significant delay between someone becoming a committer and
a member
2. When the committer has no desire to be a member.
The below is just for illustration purposes... it's NOT the way it is, but is a good way to explain what we mean by "bar for membership" (or whatever). Say to become a member you need 10 ASF points. My own personal feeling is that the number of points "required" for committer-ship should be like 7 or maybe even 8. That is, the "higher bar" is for commit privs, and *that* is a real accomplishment, and a significant indication of trust, etc... ASF membership is a little hop from there.
