Pierre Not unless one/more of those contributors is themselves a Member/Officer of the ASF - see Sectopn 4.1 of the Bylaws (http://apache.org/foundation/bylaws.html#4.1) which states the following:
To be eligible for membership, a person or entity must be nominated by a current member of the corporation and must complete a written membership application in such form as shall be adopted by the Board of Directors from time to time Therefore contributors of a project can't directly, I guess they could talk to ASF members they know and suggest that person with the aim of getting a nomination but not being a member myself I'm not sure if that would be acceptable behaviour. Ultimately ASF is a meritocracy and my personal impression based on people who I know of who've become members in the past couple of years is that to become a member you need to be active across the foundation (not just within a small part of it) for a prolonged period. One thing worth asking is why the community you are involved in feels the need to have someone be elected as a Member?
