It shouldn't matter at all who a potential committer works for, their = merit is gained by what they do as an individual. Encouraging PPMC = members to look outside their organisation for potential committers is = fine, but they should already be doing that. If they are currently only putting forward people who work at their own = company then there is an issue. I=E2=80=99ve not looked so this may not = be the case here. All contributions from anybody should be treated = equally irrespective of who they work for. Perhaps there is another issue here? Usually I find that podlings set = the bar too high for committership and it's often hard for people who = are not employed to work on the project to get committership, this = eventually harms community growth and makes for a less diverse group of = committers. Sometimes the issue is that people who contribute slow = continual contributions over time go unnoticed. Even though a number of committers have been voted in, given the large = number of contributors [1] (629!) perhaps it time to make more people = committers?
