Why not just let open Members to anyone with an Apache account?

Or has this idea already been up for a vote recently?

An important aspect of the lists is procreation. The open DEV 
lists encourages contributors, some of which evolve into 
Committers. Without the open DEV lists, many projects would 
start to wither away.

If the Committers were permitted to join Members, it would 
encourage more Comitters to become Members (assuming that more 
Members is a goal).

well, for one thing, it wouldn't be the members list anymore, would
it?  For another thing, there are things that concern the members of
the corporation that don't concern anyone else.  moving things that
need visibility to the right place is, imnsho, a better solution
than warping the existing structure so that it no longer aligns with its
original purposes.
