it's a very bad limitation. I would prefer a user management which allows registration (by email verification) of new users and where new users agree to contribute under the Apache license. Maybe combined with an iCLA but not necessarily require to be committer. But I am not sure if something like that would be possible at all. Otherwise we have to deal with the current approach and hope that we can reach volunteers to accept this approach and work together with them on a fast-track. Juergen
