Are you reading Dan's statement as independent or dependent upon time? I read it as an objection to mandated concurrency. Over time, your view should be the dominant one, as each Committer becomes a (P)PMC member.
My comment was in reply to the entirety of Dan's comment (which you snipped). But, as for the one line that you retained: I view Dan's perspective as being independent of time - that is, committers should never equal the PMC - I view that as extremely unhealthy. Placing qualities besides what they contribute as qualifications to PMC status is to miss the point - if you contribute to the project, you get a vote. -- justin
