Morphology
committal + to + writing
The phrase is directly compositional: 'committal' (the act of committing) combined with 'to writing' yields the act of putting something into written form. Despite being somewhat formal, the structure follows regular English noun + prepositional phrase composition and is predictable to a learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Committal to writing comes from the image of committal as giving something over and writing as putting it on paper, like placing a message in a safe so it cannot be lost or changed. So, a 'committal to writing' means putting something into words on paper to make it clear and official.
