You are technically correct but giving those people commit access to
the repository, as part of making them committers, doesn't hurt.

It's useful for 99% for them and for the others it's not a problem -
we trust them not to touch what they don't master (like any committer)
and worst case version control is our friend.

So having two different roles for "coding committers" and "non-coding
committers" would complicate things while bringing no tangible
benefit.

Basically, if you think someone is committed to Groovy and deserves to
be listed as such, make them committers, as there's no better role
here and the coding or non-coding distinction is not useful.
