I am curious why it scares you. It doesn't seem terribly out of the norm. CloudStack clearly isn't 1:1, or even 2:1 of some projects, but we aren't at the high end of the spectrum either. For comparison here are some other Committer/PMC differences: CloudStack 96 committers, 29 PMC members 3.31 CtP Subversion 78 committers, 43 PMC members 1.81 CtP Hadoop 96 committers, 51 PMC members 1.88 CtP Struts 56 committers, 17 PMC members 5.06 CtP Spamassassin 26 Committers, 7 PMC members, 3.71 CtP OpenOffice 140 committers, 27 PMC members, 5.19 CtP httpd 110 committers, 55 PMC members 2.00 CtP xalan 54 committers, 7 PMC members, 7.71 CtP WS 223 committers, 41 PMC members 5.43 CtP TomEE 28 committers, 8 PMC members, 3.50 CtP --David
