## What Adds a **Becoming a Committer** page to the community section of the website, documenting the path from contributor to committer and PPMC member. The page covers: - Ways to contribute (code, reviews, RFCs, community support, docs, releases) - Committer criteria — sustained contribution, quality over quantity, reviewing, ownership, community involvement, and conduct - PPMC member criteria — the governance responsibilities layered on top - The nomination and voting process, following ASF convention It also adds a `sidebar_position` to the existing community page so ordering stays stable. ## Why XTable does not currently document how contributors progress to committer/PPMC. Publishing clear, merit-based guidelines makes the process transparent and fair, and gives contributors a concrete target. This mirrors how established ASF data projects publish theirs (Apache Iceberg, Hudi, Spark). ## Notes for reviewers - Uses **PPMC** terminology since XTable is incubating (to be updated to PMC at graduation). - The voting threshold is written as **majority vote, open ≥72 hours** (matching Hudi and the common ASF default). Happy to switch to consensus if the community prefers. - Verified with `npm run build`; the page renders at `/community/becoming-a-committer`. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
