I'm reading 
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/derby-2248-contribution-tests-ibm.html

In the section titled "Verify distribution rights" there are two items
that I don't quite understand:

"Check that all active committers have a signed CLA on record."

and 

"Remind active committers that they are responsible for ensuring that
a Corporate CLA is recorded if such is required to authorize their
contributions under their individual CLA."

I assume that 'active committers' refer to people contributing to the
code being donated? (As opposed to existing Derby committers). What's
the definition of 'active' in this context? At least one contribution
in the last six months?

Thanks,
