I am not sure what you are asking be done. No new committers and most
of the activity comes from GitHub is not at all unusual. Activity through PRs
doesn’t equate to new committers. Someone has to demonstrate that they
are planning on sticking around and a single PR doesn’t accomplish that.
The fact is that Commons has plenty of active PMC members and committers
and there is a lot of development work going on. Unless there are problems
the PMC can’t address that is pretty much all the board cares about.
Every PMC I am involved in reports numbers that don’t reflect reality. That
is primarily because the numbers are derived from Apache Reporter which
is simply counting numbers from LDAP.
