I invite Roman and anyone facing such a problem to approach the PMCs in que=
stion. If the PMCs are not recognizing this kind of merit then there is a c=
ommunity problem.  Merit is merit and such people should be given committer=
 status.

This is documented at the ASF level and in some projects. It should be docu=
mented in all. See CoPDoC http://community.apache.org/contributors/index.ht=
ml

We don't have to accept that projects often fail to recognize some kinds of=
 merit.

Ross

SF communities grow?

Roman's distinction was a practical one that arises from the fact that a
large majority of projects have this problem.  The reflection into Roman's
practical situation is that the community developer people he wants to hire
don't have an Apache bestowed title that reflects their activities.


 (I can't say I have sampled all of the problems so maybe I shouldn't say
"large majority".  I have pretty high gut confidence in the
characterization, however)
