It's true, I see no reason why it should be any trouble adding new committers.  At 
this point, 
we can surely get 3 people to vote, because of all the commotion that's occurred.  If 
I contact 
him directly, I could probably get Berin Loritsch to vote too.

JMeter has always been very small.  I don't remember ever having 3 active committers 
for 
more than a couple weeks at a time.  As a result, I've never really worried too much 
about the 
Apache rules for decision making and the like.  Calling for votes no something has 
often 
resulted in no response.  Responses from PMC members has also been inconsistent.  So 
sometimes, it has felt that JMeter was an Apache project in name only.  Moving 
elsewhwere 
would to have the advantage of decreasing administrative overhead.  

But, I think we should how these latest actions pan out at this point before making 
that 
decision.
