There might be mileage in going through all initial committers to evaluate who among them has been making significant contributions, just to identify whether there's someone at Yahoo who was formerly active on the project but has moved on. But it would be perverse to drop active folks just to meet some formal hurdle. FWIW, I was concerned about (low) diversity, but our chat yesterday reassured me when you identified some of the most active contributors as non-yahoos. > As for option #2, the Yahoo people would decide together who should stay, That would be a backward step too. Decisions happen on-list at apache. -- Nick Kew
