What you state is correct, but also besides the point.

QUIPs are the writing down of community decisions. They were created to 
summarise conclusions from the mailing list discussions. Approvership is not 
required to participate in those. The Gerrit review system is later used to 
perfect the language of the text, but not to change its essence. And you don't 
need to be an approver to post comments there, or give +1 and -1 for that 
matter.

I don't know of any contributions of code that Jason H may have made, 
nonetheless his email deserves to be read and answered.
