Thoughts?
To my thinking, a single set of committers should manage a product. A product is something that's released. Currently, we still branch and release Common, HDFS and MapReduce together, so I regard them as a single product and hence believe they should have a single set of committers. If/when we start to release them separately then we can consider splitting committer lists. Even then, we don't have to split them, since a single set of committers can manage multiple products. In fact, I don't see a strong case for splitting committer lists until these become separate TLPs. (The other Hadoop subprojects with separate committer lists ought to become TLPs, but that's a separate discussion.)
