Hi, I also agree on reevaluating the initial committer list and bringing more people.
I also felt this while reading the thread, that there's a language communication gap and may have caused some misunderstandings. Basically initial project maintainers / committers may have made several assumptions of the incubation checklist, while writing this proposal, thinking that they need to defend everything that's on the proposal in order to get accepted. They probably have made some mistakes in writing the proposal as well. These are okay and that's why we have proposal discussion here, we can take things from here. Sheng's main argument is to state the true status of the community in the proposal. This doesn't mean your proposal will get evaluated based on this. It's okay to not have a perfect or diversified community at this time of proposal. This is to understand the risks involved, and try to address these day one in the incubation process. But in order to do this, we need to admit / accept the current status where we are at right now. For the very limited interaction I had, what I can say is, there is some great interest from project members to become an Apache project. Technology point of view, they have done some promising work.
