It's not new, though the vast majority of committers are coders. In (the good old) Cocoon times we had at least two (out of about 40 committers), typically CTO/consultant types who would evangelize and promote the project without being deeply involved in technical details. The httpd project has also a number of committers who "only" write docs, AFAIK. I don't know about other projects but those are probably typical. I agree that it's a good thing to include non-coding people in the committers roster when appropriate - it's more about "committment" than "committing code" in such cases. -Bertrand
