IMO, assuming the growth continues on Avatica, I think it could easily
grow itself into the incubator. I don't think it needs to hinge on
Calcite's graduation, either. I would guess that over time, if it should
be its own project, it will naturally follow that path.
Perhaps making the changes in Calcite to fix the dependencies (and
solving any other technical issues) would help make it easy for a "new"
community to bring Avatica into incubator.

I’d like to introduce a meta-discussion into this thread.
Calcite’s Avatica module[1] is growing into a separate community. Calcite
depends upon Avatica but not vice versa. At some point I would like to consider
splitting Avatica out as a separate project (an incubation project and
ultimately a TLP). There is no particular urgency to this decision.
Is now a good time to have that discussion, or is it better to have that
discussion after graduation?

+1 to graduation. I think diversity is increasing and the project is on an
excellent trajectory.
Thanks,

I do commit quite a large proportion of third-party contributions. But
these days it’s common for others to get involved the discussion when
there’s a new patch. Pull #106 [1] is typical: Sean provided a patch,
Vladimir reviewed, I ended up committing.
I’d be delighted if other committers shared the load of committing. (As I
said they’re already doing a lot of the reviewing. And committing their own
contributions.)

One random question. I have some sense that the vast majority of commits
are still being merged by Julian. (even when the patches are generated by
others). I haven't actually quantified/determined whether this is true
but
wanted to ask. I don't think this is a showstopper for graduation but I
think we should get that more spread out if it is still the case.

Is Calcite ready to graduate from the incubator and become a TLP

See the policy [1] and guidelines [2].
