It is not about how much time it takes to scan an ICLA and send it :).
He was not in the initial list of committers and as the [VOTE] has
been accepted and closed and the podling has started I am afraid that
he should gain credits to become a committer.
Not sure I follow why he should? (I have no doubt in Michele and if he
continues to support deft the way he is currently doing he will probably become
a committer one day.)
I think that what Mohammad thinks is that it's not because you have
provided a patch once before the project has been accepted at Apache
that you should be granted commit access.
The initial members of the project, listed in the proposal, are natural
committers. Any other should be voted by the PPMC (and approuved by the
IPMC), thus must gain access through merit. This is true for new
contributors, but also for those who contributed before.
The rational for this rule is that if you didn't include them in the
proposal, then they haven't been 'committed' enough to the project.
See http://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#Authorize+Committers.
Anyway, I think that what is important here is to found the PPMC, as
they will rule the project when it will get out of incubator. You are
the guy who make this project successful - or not :-) -, and it's also a
part of the process.
