Here is my understanding of the discussion so far.
On the notion of responsibility:
There seems to be some confusion in the interpretation of a PMC engaging its responsibility. When a PMC vouches for a release, it vouches for the open development model as well as availability of development resources ensuring future development. In other words, accepting responsibility means vouching for the model as well as resources.
Roy pointed out the distinction between vouching for the model and vouching for resources. However, his later remarks about umbrella projects lead me to believe that he doesn't think the distinction to be important.
On the notion of community:
The ASF considers any project with less then 3 active committers as not having a community. The consensus on the number 3 can be described as very solid, if not frozen. My implicit suggestion to consider 2 as an alternative was not well received.
