I think we principally agree. But for me a committer is mainly some-one with voting-rights. Putting things in CVS is merely a practical issue, which happens te be a duty of committers. The current status of 'developers' means actually nothing, only that you are known. I'm not sure we need a lot of official granularity in status. I very leftishly am not against a very egalitarian community, in which everybody principally has the same status, and only reality and informal rules differantiates between people who actually commit in core, only in certain parts of the CVS tree, or only use the voting right. It is complex enough as it is, and we must distinguish between how-it-is from how-it-should-ideally-be.
