Sure. I checked several previous graduation discussions and see a good example here [1]
[1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/oc9vz3of0t2s1vld60p7scbr4cpxxhhz I can see the Fluss community has members who have replied above that work well with its current PPMC, so I generally agree that it's a good community to continue. Although, this can be a good time for the PPMC to consider if it's time to extend more members, it should not be read as a requirement for graduation, i.e., adding members just to make the numbers look good. > with only a small number of minor contributions immediately before donation (I might have the exact dates wrong, but it seems that’s correct at a casual glance) Can you name it out here? I think it should be fine to call out to continue a constructive discussion. For members who never contribute during the incubation, I can recall several examples: 1. @karelrooted of Apache Kvrocks is an initial PPMC member. He contributed to the Kvrocks project before it joined the incubator. But later his interest shifted and he never contributed to the project during its incubation. We respect his previous contributions, so we retain his merits. 2. I remember I ever doubted one PMC member of some project (I can't remember its name right now) that he had never shown up in the community, but the PMC chair told me that the member participated in early stage design discussion, so when it was entering the incubator, he was retained in the initial list and thus the final PMC during the graduation.
