This is not an ASF-term (afaik), but Anthony's. :)
Correct. I use it because I though it reflected the decision making
structure, and I agree with that structure i.e. a community that makes
arguments to convince a committee, said committee being the actual
decision makers. In this case, the people with commit rights are
effectively the decision makers, because Couch will be what they commit.
Maybe the term causes distress. I'll cease and desist.
