I fear the problem is less that contributors haven't been voted in as committers, but IMO that unfortunately the project has seen hardly any contributions of bigger patches from the community in the last couple of years, (I know we merged patches from Charles, but when some people voiced interested here that's the first at least I heard of them). This makes me pessimistic regarding a handover which medium term can improve the situation. I summarized some issues I saw in an earlier thread (yes, this discussion has been going on since Feb 2021), and I think the issues were only if at all marginally related to committership, https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r4bccbf048a9bcde3f0bb66d5e2c57f585296e1f5e2769486413b2758%40%3Cdev.mesos.apache.org%3E .
