Yes I think saying 3 committers is a bit mis-leading - since Sanselan entered the incubator Carsten has made the 2nd most commits but that is only 16 commits and he hasn't committed for over a year. Also the last commit on the project was over 3 months ago: http://markmail.org/search/list:org.apache.incubator.sanselan-commits So reality is this is currently a one-committer show and looks to be heading to dormancy.
