Apache is a meritocracy, not a kolkhoz[1].
People are invited to join the PMC only if other PMC members see their merits and want them to come in, not because there is some rule that sums up the commits done or the length of the emails written.
PMC members are there because they earned merit from their peers (not because of rules), and they have all the right to decide for the project. The same applies to the board, as it's an elected selection of members, that are also there only on invitation.
If you don't understand this, you don't understand Apache.
