Small (but important) correction... PPMC members are *always* committers. They may be made a committer and a PPMC member at the same time, but you can't have a PPMC member who is not a committer. Sometimes this causes confusion and concern. Does this mean that someone has to write code to be a PPMC member? The answer is no. Being a committer on an ASF project is better thought of as being committed to the project rather than a committer to SVN. The reason PPMC members must be committers is a process one. If you're not a committer you don't have an apacheid, email, login credentials etc. and that would prevent you from participating in foundation activities.
