I'm not sure anybody has a complete picture yet.

What I see:

* Ant's PMC would now become legally responsible for Ant's code-base
instead of the Jakarta PMC.

* All Ant committers can become PMC members (at least of the initial
PMC).

* According to Roy (and backed by other board members), only PMC
members are legally protected by the ASF - so with the point above, we
can cover all committers.  Well, cover as good as the ASF can do, that
is.

emeritus committers?

emeritus committers or no committers at all - at their choice.

The "no committers at all" option would probably apply to a lot of the
committers inherited from Tomcat almost three years ago who have never
realized they had become Ant committers.
