Oh sure, if you get all technical about it :) I think most of us (here on dev anyway) understand that being a PMC member is not exclusive to being a committer, and that the relationship is of composition rather than either/or. And I think Martin probably just wanted to make that verbose to the user community.

Martin, sorry if I misunderstood.

+1.

I didn't really give the role thing any thought before, but I wonder if
perhaps it should be additive? Meaning, for example:

         <roles>
            <role>Committer</role>
            <role>PMC Member</role>
         </roles>

rather than replacing 'Committer' with 'PMC Member'? Just a thought - no big
deal.

"The foundation is governed by the following entities:
   * Board of Directors (board) governs the foundation and is
composed of members.
   * Project Management Committees (PMC) govern the projects, and
they are composed of _committers_. (_Note that every member is, by
definition, also a committer._)" [1]

The above, apparently, can be rephrased like this to define a member:

"Project Management Committees (PMC) govern the projects, and they are
composed of _members_. Every member is, by definition, also a
committer._"

or simply as:

"Project Management Committees (PMC) govern the projects. Every PMC
member is, by definition, also a committer."

The above assumes that the note in parentheses corresponds to the
second bullet only (otherwise why would it be a part of second bullet
instead of being a separate note below the bulleted list?).

"PMC member is a _developer_ or a _committer_ that was elected ..." [2]
