What is the way that *any* community decides in voting?

You *are* a member of the community even if you do not have an account.

Developers

 Developers are the people who write code or documentation patches or
contribute positively to the project in other ways. A developer's
contribution is always recognized. In source code, all developers who
contribute to a source file may add their name to the list of authors for
that file.
"

A developer *is* part of the community.

This is how it works on the Cocoon, Forrest and POI projects AFAIK.

It seems that you are trying to put on paper that developers that are not
committers have to be listed.

It can be done, but why?
