OK, a response. Sorry for the delay. First, I'll change the part of the introduction that says: Essentially, a committer signs an agreement stating that all code that the committer submits has been created by her. ...to say: Essentially, a committer signs an agreement stating that

I imagine that the group will decide rules on peer reviewing. For comparison, the Mozilla group has very elaborate rules for checkins, while Python has pretty much an innocent until proven guilty culture. (That is, you check something in, and if somebody complains, it gets removed.) I
