Welcome! Technically, a VOTE is being taken by the Incubator PMC on a proposal which includes a fixed list of initial committers. The proposal was worked up on the wiki, but it was frozen when it was included in the email which kicked off the VOTE thread. I believe that changing any aspect of that proposal now and would require cancelling the vote and starting a new one. However, one of the primary tasks of incubation is to expand the community, by recognizing merit in those who are contributing, nominating them as committers, conducting a vote, and then extending an invitation. With you stepping forward, it sounds as though one of the first activities of this podling may be to figure out how to accept new people. :) Note that the period of quasi-open-enrollment that happens while a proposal to enter incubation is under discussion is a special case (and is occasionally controversial). It will be up to the podling to determine how to deal with additional volunteers who materialize during this time of limbo, and to determine what thresholds of contribution spawn committership offers in the future.
