I think that a project that has a low level of activity is fine. As
long as it can do its board reports to show that there is some level of
monitoring, and that the PMC believes it can get the necessary 3 votes
(with adequate notice) then so be it. Some software (eventually!)
works. That software is still be valuable to the users.
With a large number of TLPs, some are going to be in this state. Not
attic-worthy, still useful, minimal active development.

Keep working and make sure people know about your project. You can only
attract devs by a) having something of value to then and b) ensuring
they know about it. It takes effort and patience.
Identify the most common use case for your code (today that is whatever
keeps you involved), write a tutorial, blog, tweet, present, demo.
Improve support for the use case, update tutorial, blog, tweet, demo
etc. Rinse and repeat.
One last thing, talk to yourself. That is tell the community (that is
any lurkers) what you are doing, why and how. Ask for input, testing,
contributions. It might feel like a waste of time if there is never a
response, but one day there might be.

Hi Folks,
community@ is the orrect place for this question.
What do we* do when we have low level activity, low level community,
generally speaking low level anything on a project?
marketing :-) Make other committers interested in your project, e.g. by
having a nice homepage, where it is easy to see how the reader can help
your project and if there are projects related to your project, mail a
polite question on their ML.

I am NOT talking about the attic.
I am committed to ensuring the project is NOT going to the attic.
