Comment:
a bit more clarifying verbage

  =3D Contributor vs Committer =3D

- Being a contributor is where new members start. A committer makes contrib=
utions to Cordova, but those contributions must be reviewed and applied to =
the repositories by someone who has write access directly to the repositori=
es - the committers. Contributors have read access and can submit requests =
for code changes, but those requests are handled by committers. The project=
 needs contributors, and every committer started as a contributor. You do n=
ot need to be a committer to make valuable and important contributions to t=
he project - contributors can do that. A request for a code change is calle=
d a "pull request", as it is a request for a committer to pull in the contr=
ibutor's changes.

- After a contributor has established a track record of quality changes and=
 understanding, they can request to be a committer. A committer has write a=
ccess directly to the repositories, so their changes hit the stream immedia=
tely. Committers also process pull requests from contributors. They also re=
view and address unresolved Jira items. Steady growth of committers is cons=
idered an indicator of good health in a project. If you are going to be in =
the community for the long term and submit ongoing code changes, you should=
 consider being a committer.
