Ah, bummer, yeah, that disqualifies us immediately. Even if you look
at "active committers", there are 6 Yahoos (including the two doc
people) and only 4 non-Yahoo's.
So, after talking with Anirban, he's willing to make some compromises
here to allow us to graduate. A couple of suggestions (depends on how
you define "active committers"):
1) We remove Yahoos from the membership to reduce the ratio to exactly 50%.
2) If allowed, we keep people from Yahoo on the PMC list, but mark them
as "inactive" in the committers list.
Neither is particularly attractive to me. If I count Mladen Turk as
active (since he has contributed several patches etc.), and possibly
Dima Ruban as active (he has changes that he's made, but not committed
yet), we have at the most 6 but probably only 5 active non-yahoo
committers. So, we'd have to remove 4 or 5 Yahoos from the list.
One suggestion would be to reduce the number of docs committers to one,
and then we could reduce the active Yahoos to 5 a little easier. This
seems really unfair to me, since both Miles and Diane has done a
tremendous job doing documentation, and we have no reason to think that
anyone in the community outside of Yahoo would do such documentation
work any time soon.
There are no contributors at this point that would be "ready" to become
committers.
I'm open for ideas here.
