Same here. I think a good way to address the "short way to committership" problem is to make sure people really committed consistently during the lifetime of the poddling when the project effectively graduates. Although that's not really related to diversity even if activity within a project is. Btw would people have interest in a small script that would analyze a given project history and give stats on commits and who committed? I've built something similar for infra [1] and such reports could be useful to the IPMC when a podling starts talking about graduation. I'm not sure how far we want to push the "policing" side of it though.
