I think Christian is right. It's about to close the gate for being a
*initial* committer. Not the *normal* committer status.
And for this we have to define a deadline. My suggestion is still end of
July or latestly end of August.
When you have entered your name on the list on the beginning and haven't
answered back until today (even not to say "sorry, I need a bit more
time"), then IMHO it's time for a deadline.

I strongly disagree here. The door is not closed as written many times already.
Lets choose the example that an initial commiter signs up the iCLA only next
year. The reasons are pointless.
No, not at all, you cannot be an *INITIAL* committer if you're not
part of it from the very beginning.
The ones that have signed the iCLA can simply fully work already. Those
who have not signed the iCLA can contribute via mail and the user wiki.
Yes. But not as *initial* committers.
So lets not waste our time with processes to prevent something that is of no
harm.
It is doing harm. Having "fake" committers/supporters that only exist
on paper is doing big harm (in perception, reputation of the whole
project).
