1. My understanding is that any ASF committer has commit rights to Commons.
That is one case for a low barrier to entry. Of course, any committer will want
to learn the way-of-working at Commons and any interesting subprojects, but
commit rights is not itself an issue in this case, yes?
Has that changed?
2. I am not clear about the idea of a low-barrier to entry as a committer in
an incubator versus here at Commons. Although a common practice is to invite
contributors to be committers and PPMC members at the same time, and there is
emphasis on growing community, this need not be particularly different at a Top
Level Project. (Commons has the rather unique characteristic of many
loosely-coupled subcomponents and I can't speak to how that figures in
governance.)
What is the thinking that it would be easier to grow in the incubator?
Visibility? Focus?
