The Incubator PMC has no say in who gets to commit in the Livy project.
It is up to the Livy PPMC. There is no point in continuing to ask the
Incubator PMC to make you a Livy committer.

There is a question about whether the Livy PPMC is viable but the way
the rules work, the Incubator PMC can only encourage the Livy PPMC or
if the PPMC is unresponsive, we may need to seek to retire the podling
altogether.
