Not to go down a rat hole but I think that clarifying the affiliations needs some refinement. On Apache Geronimo we have a few committers that work for IBM but their participation is not part of their day job. Would the committer in question for this situation state that they are independent? I'm looking for clarification as I expect that this same situation may exist for other incubator projects and like Matthieu I would be concerned about creating a set of hard rules where what I think we're looking for is project independence based on individual merit and contribution.

Good point, Matt.  This applies to Tuscany as well.

I do think it would be good to clarify the meaning of affiliations, and make it more flexible. This topic has been kicked around for a while. Is there some consensus that affiliation is project-specific, such that a committer can be independent on project A while working on another project B as their "day job"?
