My sense is that no one is a committer for the Apache OpenOffice.org podling who has not shown up on this list: <http://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#ooo>. That does not happen until after the Apache user name/ID has been issued by root@.
Likewise, one is not on the PPMC until having achieved that status, been invited to serve on the PPMC, and shown up as a subscriber on the ooo-private@i.a.o list.

After we vote in a new committer, there are several steps that follow, including sending them an note telling them they've been voted in, having them return an iCLA, waiting for the iCLA to be recorded, choosing an Apache ID, getting an Apache account, etc. At what point are they considered officially to be a committer? For example, at what point can they veto a code modification? I'm trying to better understand the status of those who never complete the above set of steps. -Rob
