No, committers are only part of that of course - but an Apache podling has to demonstrate that it knows how to select, vote in and onboard new committers and PMC members. Note that non-code committers and PMC members are also welcome in Apache projects. They're made committers because they are committed to the project (and we don't have a different role name) but they might not contribute much code - as happens for people who write docs and tutorials, act as evangelists etc. > ...Anyway... how many committers would you guys find appropriate to exit > incubation - whenever that will be? 5 seems not to be enough.... To be viable I'd say an Apache project needs at least 5 PMC members when graduating, as you need 3 to vote on things and people cannot be expected to be active all the time. But there's not set number of committers or PMC members that you need to add during incubation, it's just "demonstrating the ability to grow the community" which shouldn't be hard for Groovy.
