Hi, In general, projects joining the incubator need two things: - A codebase - a community around it
While this isn't a hard requirement, building either while in incubation can be difficult. The first issue I see is it’s not clear to me that there is a community here. The split between PPMC / committers is also unusual. It also seems there’s a disconnect between the people who have contributed to the project and those on the initial PMC/committer list. I understand history has been lost. Is there any reason why history wasn’t preserved? But given it comes from a single vendor, I would assume that the commits in the new repo would then give an accurate representation of who is involved from outside that vendor since the plan/announcement to make it open source. However looking at the commits, 80%+ of the people involved come from that single vendor which and most of the proposed PPMC/committers have no activity in the project. How have these people contributed? Looking closer, other than jbonofre or snazy, I can see these commits from non-Snowflake people, and that is it. anoopj - 1 commit (fixing a basic typo) ajantha-bhat - 2 commits (minor doc changes) From the information provided, it seems that a lot of the proposed PMCs have not been involved with the project at all. Mentors are there to help a project, adding extra existing PMC members to the PPMC to just help out is also rather unusual. So both the PPMC/committer split and the composition seem problematic to me.
