So the question remains - for *tracker* privileges, should the 
recommendation and commitment to mentor from an established commiter be 
sufficient (and therefore a standard part of our process)?

I think this is a reasonable barrier for entry and should be acceptable. 
It should be stated as part of our standard procedure however rather 
than being an exception to our standard procedure.

All the best,

Michael
