Committers could be given commit access long before having project member status, and would thus be able to commit but not vote. This makes it possible to keep a high bar for membership of the project but a lower bar for committing.
Is this possible/wanted?
As I understand it, this was the initial structure. A Contributor posts a patch, the patch is reviewed and committed. At some point, a frequent Contributor is offered the opportunity to become a Committer. The Committer is allowed to commit a change, but the PMC is still responsible to review the commit. At some point, hopefully not too far down the pike, the Committer is voted into the PMC. Until that happens, the Committer does not have a binding vote. Cannot have a binding vote, because to have one outside of the legal structure would expose the Committer.
Can you explain exactly what you mean by the last sentence above?
