Hi Ksenia, Folks, Thank you for providing this information, and thank all of you for your contributions. Speaking about how the community recognizes these efforts, it's pretty much up to PMC to decide.
There is nothing in Apache policies that says that you should contribute code to be invited to be Committer/PMC. There are examples when the Apache Foundation itself invites non-technical folks to be members of the foundation. So we have a formal way to recognize it, feel free to start a discussion. I really looking forward to seeing new statistics for 2021, coz it is still important to mention, even if a community-champion is already a member of the PMC.
