Subject: [DISCUSS] Do away with Contrib Committers and make core committers

Given the notion of "one project, one set of committers", I think we =
should do away with the notion of contrib committers for java-dev and =
just have everyone be committers.  Practically speaking, this would make =
all existing contrib committers be core committers.  I think the notion =
of contrib committers has added to the confusion about the status of =
contrib as well as acted like a "probation" for new committers.  To me, =
I don't think we should make that distinction, as has been evidenced =
time and time again, if we trust someone to commit to contrib, we can =
trust them to commit to core.  And if we don't trust them to contrib to =
core then we probably shouldn't contrib either.  Much of being a =
committer is about knowing what not to touch as it is to touch and I =
trust that all of our contrib committers know that.

Thoughts?
