Indeed. This is the result of the IMO unfortunate conflation of 'core
contributor' in the sense of someone being a key person in project
("committer") and 'voting member' in the constitution. In practice core
contributorship seems to be handed out mostly to recognize someone as a
committer, not to give someone voting privileges.
Another 2c ?
