Hi Dave, The one addition you mention explicitly said, that due to changes at work he will not be able to participate and is not willing to invest his private time :-( ... But we are more than willing to re-invite past contributors later, if they decided not to be carried over now.
And yes, there are potential candidates that we are keeping an eye on, which we will probably invite soon. We know there are way larger communities in the incubator but as far as I understand incubation, it's all about the projects learning to become good Apache communities and that they demonstrate their fitness to do correct releases. I guess we have proven that and continuing to grow community is and will remain the goal of every Apache project throughout it's existence.

I appreciate the need to narrow the PMC to those who are active. I’ll note that one of your recent additions (noted on the Oct 2018 report) did not continue while the other did. Graduating with only 6 PMC is pretty narrow. Are there other developers active who look like you will want to add to the committer / PMC soon after graduation?
