Waiting for some flaky tests on CI to let it go through: PR - https://github.com/apache/incubator-pulsar/pull/2459 Preview of contributing page: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pulsar/blob/d27d387ab3fe9a2aef997bad1b474fa92b466a05/site2/website/contributing.md > The descriptions on the team page are a little off - Members are both > Committers and PPMC members.

I am perfectly fine to change the description, because I agree that usage of "members" is not very clear to whom it refers to. What about changing the description into : ------ A successful project requires many people to play many roles. Some write code or documentation, while others are valuable as testers, submitting patches and suggestions. The team is comprised of PMC members, Committers and Contributors. Committers have direct access to the source of a project and actively evolve the codebase. Contributors improve the project through submission of patches and suggestions to be reviewed by the Committers. The number of Committers and Contributors to the project is unbounded. Get involved today. All contributions to the project are greatly appreciated. ------ Matteo -- Matteo Merli <mme...@apache.org>
