Well, actually I am rather less conservative on adding committers. There are multiple people who are active in both non-coding and coding activities. I as an example am one of Korean meetup admin and my main focus was to management JIRA. In addition, review the PRs that are not being reviewed. As

So I’d like to add non-coding committers, I think there is great value in both recognizing them and eventually having a broader PMC (eg maybe someone who’s put a lot of time into teaching Spark has important things to say about a proposed release, perhaps important enough for a binding vote).

My 2 cents as just one of contributors of Apache Spark project. The thing is, what's the merit for both contributors and PMC members on granting committership on non-code contributors. I'd rather say someone is a good candidate to be invited as a committer to co-maintain a part of code repository

I usually make such judgement about commit bit based upon community activity in coding and reviewing. If somebody has no activity about those commit bits, I would have no way to know about this guy, Simply I can't make a judgement about coding activity based upon non-coding activity. Those bugs

So, here's my thought: 1. Back to the original point, for recognition of such people, I think we can simply list up such people in Spark Website somewhere. For instance, Person A: Spark Book Person B: Meetup leader I don't know if ASF allows this. Someone needs to check it. 2. If we need
