After investigation, it seems for some existing projects we do see Committer == PPMC, and it is up to project community's decision. For example here states, "In many projects committers are also invited to be part of the core group within the project that ensures the project's vitality (represented by the Project Management Committee, PMC). In a few projects a only a subset of committers, who have earned even more merit, are invited to be a part of the PMC. "
It appears sentry is contributing voluntarily by a smaller size of active committers, to encourage involvement and ensure vitality, we can start to consider this Committer == PPMC approach.
