Why nationalities? That strikes me as a rather specific view focusing on 
one of many attributes (and I believe there's more nationalities than you 
might think, and a bigger variety of backgrounds).

I will argue that is the case as of today and would like to see potential 
counter examples (if any) so that we can address those -or- file the point
above as FUD.

Note that contributions are generally reviewed and accepted by our group 
of maintainers per the MAINTAINERS file (not the steering commitee) and 
releases driven by our release managers.
