I not sure what 'them' you are speaking of. I am thinking about active contributors who are potential committers. Part of becoming a committer is demonstrating the ability to do committer-qualify reviews.

Agreed, and perhaps this is similar to when we give someone triage permissions on b.p.o without making them a committer?

My thoughts here are:
* would we add someone to the codeowners file who *hadn't* demonstrated the ability to do committer-quality reviews? * if someone has demonstrated the ability to do committer-quality reviews, why aren't they made a committer?

I think the answer to the first is clearly no, but the answer to the second is more complicated, which is why we probably will end up treating this as "you've demonstrated useful reviews already so here's a way to help you demonstrate more until we decide to also let you click merge".

Cheers,
Steve
