I'm starting to think that perhaps we should add some sort of expectation of a time-frame for projects that join the big tent as single-vendor to attract other contributors. We removed the requirement that new projects need to have some minimal level of diversity when they join because projects asserted that they would have a better chance of attracting other contributors after becoming official. It might focus the team's efforts on that priority if we said that after a year or 18 months without any increased diversity, the project would be removed from the big tent.
