Vic, In your particular case, you're not a committer based on personality conflicts with the existing team. You may have one email that advertises a -1 vote but there are others that would vote the same way.
I'm in a similar situation as Martin faced with more paid work than one person has time for and still meaningfully contribute to Struts. Personally, Struts does everything I need it to do so I've been volunteering on validator and dbutils. While I don't post much to dev@ discussions I do monitor the list every day. However, there are active new committers on Struts and there has been steady cvs activity. We just need a person with a big enough block of time to understand the release procedure and roll one.
