The sections on how to progress through the Author, Committer, Reviewer roles needs a broad agreement since that's an area that affects everyone and where there historically has been a lot of debate. This is a first draft, please comment.

And just a clarification; The parts that have been under debate in votes over the past years are mostly how to actually define a "significant change", and if 32 changes are really enough if a person clearly don't understand how to judge wether a change is appropriate or not. This is not covered by the Projects page (and I don't think it should be). I have written my view on this here but obviously there are other opinions as well, so that's what representatives from as many areas as possible should agree on before pushing this change.
