IMO, the need for "Independent committers" is based on the
following wants and needs:
1. Reduce the influence that any single entity has over
the codebase and/or its direction.
2. Reduce the risk that, if a single entity suddenly drops
its "support" for a codebase, that development does not
immediately whither away and die.
3. Provide some sort of assurance that the committers are
personally invested in the codebase, independent of their
employment.
4. The health of a community is proportional to its diversity.
5. Reduce the risk associated when corporate drivers do not
align with community drivers (corporate entity wants A
but community wants B).
