Correct. You would still have the same commit privileges you do today and nothing would really change for you other than a new URL here or there. Basically, the job of the PMC is to vote on releases (only PMC votes are binding), committers and the such. From time to time, the PMC might have to deal with anti-community behavior, but that is very infrequent. If the Lucene PMC is any indicator for your decision, it is generally a very low-traffic undertaking with spikes every now and then. Opting out doesn't preclude you from doing it in the future, but at that point you would have to be nominated by another PMC member. -Grant
