See, that's what bugs me.  If I contribute
significantly, I should be able to vote in my opinion.
 However in the absense of a reasonable metric for
significant contributions, it's left to the judgement
of established developers who may or may not be
"exclusive".  Again, I think you err on the side of
inclusion.

Well, I don't quite agree, but I'm willing to concede
the point as long as once I gain commit access to
"Apache Commons", I can commit to all components and
not just the component(s) to which I've already
contributed.
