I think it should take a bit more than code to be made a committer - participation in mailing list discussions, the weekly IRC chats, votes, and things like that. And its not just code, high-quality patches could include things for documentation or web site. Right now i think it shouldn't be to hard to become a committer, if someone has been demonstrating an interest in the project for a while we should encourage that.
I'd agree with this - however, as someone working on the C++ side of things I personally don't feel able to join in with the majority of discussion, centred, as it is, around the Java work. The C++ side is quieter, with Pete and Ed being the main (and only?) committers, and a few others submiting patches. Will being part of this quieter side reduce the chances of those submitters becoming committers? Hopefully not - perhaps we C++ers should get a bit noisier :-) Andy
