All the graduation criteria are things that the IPMC has previously considered important things to consider when deciding if a "community has reached maturity" as defined in the original Incubator resolution [1]. The criteria have evolved over time and will continue to do so. That said, I think diversity is an important factor of community maturity and should definitely be considered when casting a vote on the graduation of a project. The traditional metric of at least three independent (active) committers is a good guideline, though it has often especially with smaller projects been judged subjectively and weighed in relation to other aspects of community health. As for Flume, you and the other mentors are in the best position to consider the overall maturity of the project. Is the project ready to function as a standalone TLP on it's own according to the Apache Way and the ASF policies, or is there still something that the Incubator can or should teach the community? Personally, based on a few closer looks at Flume, it seems to me that the community passes that barrier and I'm satisfied with the way they've decided to addressed the concerns that were raised. But before casting my vote I'd love to hear your opinion on this since you raised the issue originally and as a mentor you have much better insight on the actual community dynamics within Flume.
