Gotcha. Silly me. My view: much as though I'd love to be graduating, I think it'd be dishonest to push for it right now.
As I understand things, new committers are meant to be from the user community, usually those who initially contribute a few patches and thereby gain the trust of the existing committer base. While there are definitely a number of users who are enthusiastic about Isis, none have yet expressed interest in being committers as yet. One reason that's been mentioned is due to the complexity of the codebase (which I think we need to continue to simplify). Note to self: we ought to ask what other reasons there are... More generally, we don't yet have new committers because the user base remains small. We know we need to continue working on marketing, and if we do that then that will bring in more users and some of those will want to become committers. It was gratifying to see that the mail I did on Friday just gone publicising a blog post got retweeted by quite a number of people, and did well on dzone. Hopefully a bit more of that sort of activity will bring some more users and thence committers in.
