Nadeem told me he was interested in getting commit rights.

I deliberately don't ask about "being a long-term contributor", since
participating in a FLOSS project is not like entering a marital
relationship, and demanding such commitment would be, IMHO, misled. The
mechanics of contribution are such that many of us probably didn't know
they wanted to be long-term contributors by the time they started
posting patches.

(what can be expected is some kind of reactivity if you come to be the
dedicated maintainer of a piece of code, but that's not what we are
discussing here)

A pragmatic reason for adding new developers is also that it relieves us
existing developers of some of the work (of studying and committing
patches from trusted people).

Regards

Antoine.
