I would say that  "commiter" is still a valid term in a DVCS.

- Commiting means adding new revisions into a repository
- Pushing is just the action to copy some revisions from a repository to another

A "Python commiter" is authorized to commit revisions to the central
hg.python.org/cpython repository, whether it's by copying them from
another repository, or by doing a direct commit (via push). The latter
happens to be unnecessary,
