Our working groups are core to our community but their membership is not equivalent to committers in a software project, nor is participation so easy to define/measure unless we start counting emails which is a very crude measure.

Yes, I agree this seems like the central knot of the problem. Ben, you
mentioned that a few others had progressed towards membership of ASF
based on activities beyond committing. Is there anything we can learn
or model from based on how this happened?

Jordan's right - this is exactly the sort of experience we hoped you'd
bring to the Board, so many thanks for starting this thread...
