Make sense.  That's basically the case we are facing.  The new committer
would work closely under the supervision of an existing committer.

Robert,

The normal process for contributors before they are committers is to
pass their patches to a committer who would review them and commit them.
Does that satisfy your requirement?

I do think we need to treat the committer role reasonably seriously,
but I would be receptive to a new-committer motion for someone without
much of a track record on the project if there was an existing committer
who spoke well of their capability and offered to monitor their
contributions for a while.

Is that reasonable?

Best regards,
