Having a single shared employer can be a concern but project have graduated
without this diversity so it’s not a hard requirement. For a smallish project
like this it may be fine.
I will put an update on our progress. I would be interested to hear
from the committers whether they think we should pursue graduation by
explaining rather than checking off this item.
2) *Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the
committers?*
I think this is a hang over from where is was expected that incubating projects
were expected to come up with bylaws. That’s no longer the case. What would be
good to see if a document on what’s required to become a committer (if we don’t
already have one).
Thanks Justin, I will just point to the Apache voting page for that
question then. We have this page for How to become a committer. Do you
think that is sufficient?
