My reasoning is that we can ensure that this "newbies" can learn the
apache way to it fullest (which is one of the most important point in
the process to become a PMC member) without the "pressure" to be an
official PMC member.
There are *no* additional requirements to being a PMC member than there
are to being a committer, therefore no additional "pressure". ...
(I need to clarify Ross' statements, so i split this
paragraph apart. Also it is good to build upon this,
to ensure that everyone who cares can know our background.)
The PMC as a whole does have additional responsibilities:

Yes, bad wording on my part. Thanks for the clarification.
What I meant to say was that being a PMC member does not bring any
additional __demands on the time of the member__. However as David
points out, there are additional responsibilities which will sometimes
(not always) see a little extra time being committed to the project.
The important thing is there is no additional *expectation*, just more
*opportunity* for earning karma through the meritocracy system.
