If you will compare http://incubator.apache.org/projects/openofficeorg.html with http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html you will find that all the committers on the first list are listed on the second list. All have submitted ICLAs and had an Apache ID and password issued by root@. >> You should read the ICLA carefully before you decide that you can't or >> don't want to sign it. > > > I did. But I thought we could contribute with patches without sign it.

To "directly contribute" a person has to be a committer, which at this point means indirect submissions. Once they prove themselves they can be invited to be a full committer but then they have to have the ICLA on file. HTH Andy
