I've updated the Incubator XML file to include Ratandeep. Sorry about that, I forgot this page doesn't show changes from Whimsy.
I agree that it would be great to have more committers, but I don't think that it should block graduation. The aspects that need to be satisfied for graduation are diversity of the committers and ability to develop contributors to committers. We do well on both. For ability to develop contributors, I think we do an overall good job of making sure contributions get attention from committers and that we have quality reviews that provide context to help contributors gain understanding. And we've demonstrated the ability to recognize when a contributor has that context and grant the trust that goes along with it. For diversity, no company has more than 3 PMC members and two companies have that many. We also have representation from others, so that no one organization has a majority in the PMC. The community also includes not just our (active!) mentors, but also several other ASF members. And our contributor base is even more diverse because of the number of people and companies interested in the project. So while I agree that we would ideally have more committers, I think it is more a matter of time.
