I agree with Bertrand on that a - projected - viability of having a fruitful lifespan under the umbrella of the ASF is key. And that IMO is much driven by popularity of the code as it must fill a certain level of need to adopt, and the desire of those participating in the - incubating - project to keep the works attractive AND grow the community. If either declines that viability to survive as an ASF project decreases drastically.
Re: at least 5 active PPMC Members As we learned from the Trafodion graduation, it was (is?) also required that (some of) the ASF Members mentoring the project were going to be part of the PMC after graduation.
