I don't see it as a problem if the vast majority of commits comes from
one person (or company) as long as the community operates normally
*and* there are others who won't have to start learning how to build
the codebase and do an "svn commit" if the key developer leaves.

That's why I measure the "three independent committers" criteria by
looking at the commit log instead of the asf-authorization file. And
I'm not asking much, just a few code commits in the past few months is
good enough for me.

That's the criteria that I held Sling against, and that's also what's
currently keeping UIMA from graduating (and apparently also for over a
year before I signed up to help them). If the consensus is that this
is a bit too hard a requirement, then I'll be happy to bring UIMA up
for graduation in the next few months.

BR,

Jukka Zitting
