Michael,
Not only does it not cause problems, one of the key parts of incubation is making sure there is a community around the code.
Having said that, there are a few things that need to be done first. We don't like creating Apache accounts and giving write access to source code unless people have already been contributing to the project in question.
So most projects accept patches, documentation and e-mail assistance from non-committers, and when they feel the people involved have contributed enough to warrant it, they make them committers.
The mechanics are loosely described in
http://incubator.apache.org/learn/newcommitters.html
But the key thing from your perspective is probably the first para.
Cheers,
Berin

Hi all,
I am looking for new developers for the log4cxx project (I think you saw my anounce yesterday)
Some developers have already replied and I was wondering if it causes
problem to integrate new committers while log4cxx is still in a incubation process.
If no, is there anything to do for theses persons to become official committers, except to send their CLA to the foundation ?
cheers,
