Agreed. Fine with just dealing with the repository as that's urgent,
but look for opportunities to reuse this for other kinds of
access/rights.

Good point. Am I correct in remembering a board consensus for this
though? I'm fine with doing this as a later step. Meanwhile it's
useful for Christian to know that committer is a "subclass" of a
future contributor.

Anyway, renaming it to contributor member shouldn't change much if we
decouple committing from membership, right? A committer could become a
contributor member, but there would also be other ways to reach
contributor membership.
