Whenever anybody within the community experiences that progress is dwindling (e.g. user questions aren't answered in a timely fashion, patches don't get reviewed and committed) it is time to reconsider the committer invitation strategy. More hands get more done (in general), in various areas. Not reconsidering the strategy leads to dwindling adoption of the product. Thwarting the vicious circle takes effort. Waiting to see it happen doesn't help.
Any contribution is a contribution. Do more than 1 and you're a committer potential.
