I don't think the process needs to be very formal (e.g. included in the bylaws) or agreed before graduation. But it does need to be an organizational habit. This discussion thread, if it reaches consensus, could be all the process we need.
KVRocks' template email starts 'I nominate...'. I think it's important to lower the bar to discussing new committers and PMC members, so we can talk about people who "might be ready". Because often they *are* ready. It could be a simple email to private@: > [DISCUSS] Alex Doe for committer > > I think Alex Doe has been doing some good work recently[1].

SDAP should also set a policy (if it doesn't have one) about whether it is possible to be a committer without being a PMC member.
