Sure, I expect the IPMC and our mentors to hold us to reasonable expectations during incubation. For now, I think "meritocracy" should be followed -- when contributors demonstrate sufficient merit, we can add them as committers. Note that there are plenty of my coworkers who have made small contributions in the past, and they aren't listed as contributors either. Todd -- Todd Lipcon Software Engineer, Cloudera
