I've never particularly liked this phrase in the template, either. It seems to discourage code reviews. I think something like this might be better:
"Being a committer grants you the ability to make changes directly in the project, and empowers you to help review and accept other contributors' work. See https://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works/#committers for more." This version emphasizes what you can do with the new role, in terms of how it might benefit the project, and links to the standard ASF role definition. Maybe not exactly this, but I think this might be a reasonable starting point.
