While I agree with some of your points Ron, we also need to make sure that we are setup to be able to take advantage of motivated people contributing (especially around documentation) without first requiring that they become a committer. That is a bit of a chicken and egg problem because no one will accept a new committer with zero activity, so if we didn't give this type of access, then an interested contributor would never be able to support the project in the ways know how.
We need as much support on the supporting documentation as we can get, and we don't have the convenience of mechanisms like 'pull requests' on wiki content.
