For RC2 two committers (excluding the one who made the fix) are needed to give the +1 and also do the review. For details see https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/freeze_plan_4_8.php#FixPassAfterRC1.

Ok, but while Alex did explain me in more details in this case it would involve the contributor + 3 committers, I don't think this can be infered from the explanation in the initial email, here or in the link.

The comment here is written in a way that seems to assume that only a committer can push a patch; and this is not true at all. Especially in those particular cases, the submitter isn't a contributor.

The doc should be reworked in words that says that in any case, 3 committers (may include the submitters) needs to approve the change.
