Well, like the proposal says -- most don't but at least ~10 do (those are the same guys working on Geode). > Doesn't that drastically lower the chances of the project creating a > diverse community? > > I would much prefer a smaller list of initial committers who have been > identified as having experience or a solid potential to be ASF > committers, and let others be elected based on merit as the project > progresses. I would agree that this could be a problem if the project didn't have enough active mentors to help a large # of folks master the Apache Way. With Justin volunteering at this point we've got 6 very active, very experienced mentors. I really don't think the # of committers should be a problem.
