It also reduces friction when deciding who to nominate as a new committer and encourages the nomination of new committers as contributors mature.

Taken the number of different views on the topic - isn't it worthwhile to bring to the dev@ list for discussion rather then iterating on a patch? Or have a google doc for mutual commenting / editing?
I also have a hard time getting comfortable with establishing a process that haven't been up for vote (but written down anyway) - to put it another way: how can we honor/exercise these rules if there haven't been consensus around them?
