 - we should avoid anyone who is affiliated with a company that already
   has a member on the committee. So nobody from Google and nobody from
   GitHub. I would extend that to Microsoft, too, given a certain
   impending acquisition. I'd expect anybody who is affiliated with a
   company to recuse themselves from decisions that directly affect that
   company (which is what we've done so far).

That might make it hard for some of us to nominate others, since as
far as I can tell (e.g. looking at shortlog -sne output) few git
contributors use work email addresses to do so and we don't
necessarily know employers of other contributors.

I would say to err on the side of nominating, and the candidate can
provide the information.
