Why not just let open Members to anyone with an Apache account? Or has this idea already been up for a vote recently? An important aspect of the lists is procreation. The open DEV lists encourages contributors, some of which evolve into Committers. Without the open DEV lists, many projects would start to wither away. If the Committers were permitted to join Members, it would encourage more Comitters to become Members (assuming that more Members is a goal). -Ted.
