Teams can grant commit access to their repos, but according to this, they can not actually make someone a _member_ of the team. Although the implied meaning is clear, if you do write a constitution, it would be better to do it 100% self-consistently.
Good catch. But the document also does not specify what a team is an what the rights of team members are. I don't think it is really necessary to specify that a team can make someone a member of the team.
As I understand things, a dev who disappears for a year will get demoted to contributor and then removed from contributors immediately. Fringe case, but I just wanted to make sure I understand this correctly.
IMHO no as the timer only starts after you change roles. That means if you get demoted to contributor you will stay contributor at least for one additional year.
I think we definetly need a better description as your interpretation is also valid.
