In my opinion, any PMC member should be allowed to use the Twitter account without any other checks, balances, or friction. They know that they are speaking for the project, and only for the project. They are PMC members so we trust them to do the right thing.
If committers and other non-PMC community members would like to suggest a tweet then a GitHub PR is a reasonable process. But unlike a code change, it needs to be approved by a PMC member. Quite frankly the easiest process for non-PMC members is just to tweet as yourself (or your company, or project) and mention @ApacheArrow. A PMC member will retweet or quote tweet if it deserves wider circulation.
