I think the current practice is that hardly any of the new committers literally satisfies those requirements when they acquired this status, and also a substantial part of the existing committers does not regulary perform said actions. I btw do not think that that is a problem. Anybody who pinpointed bugs, and proves involvement, clue and readiness to occupy with mmbase a bit more, could for all I care have the voting right. (Why should I know better then them). It's also not that simple to sabotage other votes, because -1 and VETO votes must be accompanied with sensible arguments. If we can encourage participation in this way, I think it is a good thing. That voting-rights are packaged with CVS-access-rights does not really worry me, because I believe that those guys will not abuse it, and if they do, it's easy enough to revoke the rights and roll the changes back. And furthermore, I am not expecting that every of the CALL's for new committors will actually make it. If we are left with 2 or 3 new ones in a few weeks, that that is a very nice result.
