No, I'm not a committer (from my understanding of the term). I can't commit anything to cvs, I've just submitted a few docs and maybe a patch for code. I understand that everything we submit won't get applied but if it's not going to be used they could at least post a response in bugzilla telling us why. Without that it's a bit discouraging.
