Just to clarify, removing the committer == foundation's individual 
member is not simply a gerrit issue and I think requires deeper 
thoughts. We have a couple of other processes that are built around 
that assumption and changing those will require changes, whether we 
switch to DCO or not. Voting for PTL and TC elections are examples of 
such processes. Another thing that may be impacted by the removal of 
constraint are the free invitations to Design Summits, currently sent 
to 'ATCs' (defined in 3.b.i 
http://www.openstack.org/legal/technical-committee-member-policy/).
