Nicely worded exposition of the argument for more liberal commit rights. I think we all agree that more contributors will be beneficial, and I think we've tried to be pretty liberal and proactive about granting commit rights to anyone who seems interested in contributing. But perhaps being more open and up-front about wanting to be open to new contributors would help encourage people to become interesting in collaborating with us.
I think that it would be great to publish a policy like the one mentioned in your link -- that commit rights are granted upon request under condition of our policies (tickets to organize and help review work, branch conventions, encouraging people to review others' work as well as contributing their own changes, etc).
