The 3+ active committer should not come as a surprise. Having 3+ active committers has always been a requirement for graduation. There are numerous discussions of this rule in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. The Incubator PMC made several remarks regarding log4cxx's committer base when we asked for its graduation. The went along under the assumption that the committer base eventually seek to increase the number of committers.
Why don't you start by nominating the current developers, namely
Andreas Fester Ingo L�tkebohle Daniel Einspanjer Christopher Smith Tommi M�kitalo
Given the liberal nature of the Contributor License Agreement, it is rarely (if ever) a hurdle.
I definitely could be concerned if I had to take the CLA to my employer's legal department. Especially if I felt that I needed to have my employer sign off on a Corporate CLA.
I tried to list everyone who has contributed a non-trivial patch since JIRA was started. I did not attempt to filter the list by whether the developer was currently active on the mailing list or make any judgment whether I would support them as a committer. Barring special circumstances, the next log4cxx committer would likely come from the universe of people who have submitted patches.
If they have no current interest in contributing to log4cxx, it does the project no good to promote an inactive developer to an inactive committer.
If the individuals don't respond to this thread in the next few days, I'll send personal emails to follow up. But unless someone is interested and can sign the CLA, there is no reason to call a vote on them.
Lets say by next Friday, I will either nominate one or more people or given an explanation to the PMC.
