Perhaps I'm jetlagged, but I'm not sure I really understand the issue here.
At the moment, the number of committers to the proposed commons subproject
appears to be fixed. But as code bases are added, I see this number of
monotonically increasing until it asymptotically approaches the number of
active committers to Jakarta.
Meanwhile, release processes in Apache are not subject to a veto. While
the precise rules can be tailored, the overall principles are that a
release requires a simple majority of committers that choose to vote, and
are generally subject to an absolute minimum number of +1 votes required
(typically three).
