My experience from the existing open-source project we have is that the developers are willing to contribute back as long as the software they use are hold up to a standard. I do not meant to say that the contributions of the language, documentations and others do not count as contributions to

There are trade-offs. On one side, a small group of "core" committers who understands the whole picture makes the project move swiftly and safely. On the other side, the reward of becoming committer is really important to encourage more contributors. I think Tianqi's proposal gives a good
