In my opinion, a reasonable compromise would be to set it as a project goal to reduce corporate dependency on the committers list.
I would take that so far as to treat it as a bug, place an issue in JIRA to that effect, and schedule a date/version for the issue to be resolved. This will remind everyone to remain focused on attracting a diverse set of independent individuals, without corporate attachment, as contributors and eventually as committers. That said, they are more likely to attract that community as an Apache Incubator Podling. I would make resolution of the JIRA issue a blocking task to graduation however. Resolving these kinds of issues is sort of the point of the Incubator, correct?
