Could I shake an opinion out of anyone else here? I'm having trouble

The committer list at graduation should not include folks who have removed themselves from the project.

I would
further expect that the initial PMC would consist of people who
answered positively to an email on the subject.

Folks who have contributed during the project and want to continue in the governance of the project should form the initial PMC. Often this will be the PPMC members (including any Mentors who want to stay involved).

If everyone else
agrees with Luciano and Niclas I'll sit down.

Luciano,

A River committer has indicated a lack of interest in remaining
involved. Emeritus status seems overkill in a podling, but that's just
my opinion. Since this is an active expression of dis-interest, the
'how long' question seems not too relevant to me.

As part of cleaning them up for graduation, based on my experience
back on CXF, I'm thinking that it would be good to trim the committer
list by at least removing people who actively aren't interested.

I think that the committer list could very well remain without
trimming as it will be a decent record of past contributors, and that
the effort is put into "Who is going to be on the PMC if/when a
podling graduate?" which is effectively the "current stewards of the
codebase".


Cheers
