I've responded in full in reply to Simon's vote, but on the specific
point raised here, votes for Alex to be made a committer are also in
progress:

https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-updates-dev/2020-May/003173.html
https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2020-May/011806.html

With regard to authorship status, I believe that's something that can
simply be bestowed on request to the project lead. I'm not sure why that
has not taken place earlier, but I don't believe it's a pre-requisite to
committer status either.

Incidentally, I did notice, in browsing the census, that there are a
number of members of the OpenJDK members group who have no authorship at
all.
