This section outlines what committers do and how they are invited. + +### What are the responsibilities of a committer? + +In the Iceberg project, committers are community members that can review and commit changes to Iceberg repositories. Reviewing is the primary responsibility of committers. + +### How are new committers added? + +Starting from the foundation guidelines, committers are nominated and discussed by the PMC, which uses a consensus vote to confirm a new committer. This vote is the only formal requirement in the Iceberg community — there are no other requirements, such as a minimum period of time or a minimum number of contributions. Similarly, there is no length of time or number of commits that automatically qualify someone to be a committer. + +Committers are added when someone has built trust with PMC members that they have good judgment and are a reliable reviewer. Review Comment: That's OK to say it's one of the main criteria (it's up to the PMC). I would just mention https://community.apache.org/pmc/adding-committers.html as comdev good practice. Generally speaking, I think it's good to have a fairly low committtership bar (there is no risk for the project, as we always have two reviews at least on PR before the merge), and it's a reward for the contributor (as you said, trust from the PMC). I would add "Someone who loves the project and helping the community" as criteria (committer criteria should include non code contributions, see again the comdev guideline mentioned above). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
