Personally I thought code contributions were mandatory to be considered as being added to the PPMC team. If that is not the case there are some contributors that are worth considering to make PPMC members. They have consistently reported issues, asked about future development, answering issues that others raise and being a very active member of the project. > It seems like they should be invited as a committer. We are considering adding the author as a committer. His contributions have been somewhat recent and we haven't had time to add him yet.
