See [1] where it says: "The project is considered to have a diverse community when it is not highly dependent on any single contributor (there are at least 3 legally independent committers and there is no single company or entity that is vital to the success of the project). Basically this means that when a project mostly consists of contributors from one company, this is a sign of not being diverse enough. You can mitigate this requirement by admitting more external contributors to your project that have no tie to the single entity." > > > > My personal feeling is that small PMCs are OK when at least one member > has > > been added during incubation (demonstrating openness) and when the > project has > > been around for years with stable core personnel who are unlikely to > > disappear.
