Apache projects promote contributors to committers based on contributions made, not on an expectation of future activity. That's the Apache way per my understanding. Over time, folks become inactive and busy -- life happens, I get it. May I ask what are you folks doing to scale PR review and merging? Are you adding new committers? Do you feel that 2-year old open PRs is where you wish to be and is the right way to grow a community?
