Hi， here is some document written by justin， Please refer。
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/Mentor+FAQ#slow-adding-committers Situation<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/Mentor+FAQ#situation> The project has a large number of contributors but is slow in granting committer access. Suggested Action<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/Mentor+FAQ#suggested-action> Encourage the project to discuss what it means to be a committer and document it on their website. Encourage them to keep the committer bar low and recognise all forms of contribution, not just code contributions. If committer = PMC then perhaps suggest breaking into those two groups, so it's easier to appoint committers. Encourage the PPMC to look out for committers that slowly commit over time as well as the ones who are more easily recognisable. Reasoning<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/Mentor+FAQ#reasoning> For the project to have a long term future, it's essential to have new committers and PMC members. A podling that sets the committer bar too high or only recognises some form of contribution may not survive. Having new people with different backgrounds will inject fresh ideas and will make the project flourish in unexpected ways.
