as I found out the hard way, it seems that some of our committers are

I think we should invite all committers who are currently not in
the pmc
to join.
I'm no Apache guru, if committers == PMC I don't see why there are
two roles at all. By looking at http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-
works.html#roles it seems to me that it's very well possible that the
PMC is a subset of the "developers and committers". Looking at a
couple of other projects (I could find lists for Cayenne and
Geronimo, but did not look at all of them) they both have a
difference between committers and PMC members.
In short, as long as there are two roles I don't think we should
invite all committers to become PMC members by default.
