+1 to all of this, dims.

As has been discussed before in other projects [1], some folks believe that essentially all committers should be PMC members. From my POV, if you trust someone enough to give them commit rights to your code, it seems a pretty small (and reasonable) step to also enfranchise them with the right to VOTE. Note that while it's true we respect committer votes a great deal in the WS PMC, non-PMC committers, technically, cannot actually use a -1 to veto code changes! [2]

So I very much agree with dims' list here when considering, but I also tend towards defaulting to +1 unless I perceive a problem with one of the elements on this list.

Thanks,
--Glen
