Personally, I don't feel this is a big deal. The PMC size is appropriate
given the overall project size. That said, I'd like to make two points:
* in general, for a smaller project like Celix I'd like to encourage folks
to consider PMC == committers
* if anybody actually had prior examples of board raising it as an issue,
I'd appreciate seeing pointers to the discussions
Thanks,
