If you look I'm sure you'll find a few TLPs with moments in their history with 
5 or fewer active committers. Take Apache POI which came out of Jakarta. Apache 
POI is certainly a widely used project with a 10 year history and a large user 
base. The user and dev list are fairly active. It would be hard to argue that 
we ever have more than 5 active committers at any time. We do manage to recruit 
new committers and have a long roster of formerly active committers. 

Does Empire have the same 5 committers or has their roster changed?

Regards,
Dave
