Thanks for bringing up here. I think this topic and suggestions should be a little more concrete by clarifying the difference between the role of committer and PMC member.
Based on my understanding of here are my comments and concerns 1) I agree we need to bring more committers into the project, How would you change the existing (but not followed IMO) committer criteria[1]. 2) Can you expand on what significant contribution means to become a PMC member? I think its important to recognize people who are supporting the project in other ways than making code contributions like those building tutorials/documentation/managing CI/managing community, etc., 3) There are ~40 PMC members(committer+mentors), out of which i can count in one hand the number of people who participate on the list(not questioning) - This separation might lose perspectives that new members bring into the PMC. 4) Building consensus in the PMC - IMHO, the problem here is when we have disagreements is whether we(self included) accept each other's feedback and respectfully disagree with each other - that is something for the PMC to contemplate. I wonder if keeping people out would solve that problem. 5) like other's mentioned, it's important to call out what does being a committer and a PMC member mean.
