FWIW, I expect the infra team are unlikely to make these changes in the short term because the change would automatically happen as part of a switch to the DCO, whereas trying to implement the change with our current CLA system would actually require a bunch of additional work.
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/).
