For me the main point is the vote. You should note that it is still
possible that one can rejecting the vote and still keep the role as a
normal contributor, user, etc. So, no vote, no committer status. *)
Everything else like signed iCLA, chosen ID, subscribing to mailing
lists is kind of following a process.

Of course this doesn't count for the inital committer. Here the ID could
be the important part.

My sense is that no one is a committer for the Apache OpenOffice.org podling
who has not shown up on this list:
<http://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#ooo>. That does not
happen until after the Apache user name/ID has been issued by root@.
Likewise, one is not on the PPMC until having achieved that status, been
invited to serve on the PPMC, and shown up as a subscriber on the
[email protected] list.
The veto principle is explained in the "Veto" entry of the Apache Glossary

Subject: When does one become a committer?
After we vote in a new committer, there are several steps that follow,
including sending them an note telling them they've been voted in,
having them return an iCLA, waiting for the iCLA to be recorded,
choosing an Apache ID, getting an Apache account, etc.
At what point are they considered officially to be a committer? For
example, at what point can they veto a code modification?
I'm trying to better understand the status of those who never complete
the above set of steps.
