> As to who can commit code, from the ASF's standpoint any person with commit rights can do so at any time. However, the project may impose additional constraints, such as requiring a code review. Projects can amend their bylaws around this, but that also goes to the PMC - lazy consensus can apply, but yeah you can't go through the source release process without 3 binding votes. Eventually, you realize that this sort of software is not anybody's hobby project and takes real dollars to pay for development. Doesn't help that Dremio would profit from Drill collapsing and leaving that space open.
