As you guessed, you are not missing much. And an incubating project
with most of its committers from a single company should strive hard to
add new committers.
In other Apache projects that I'm involved with, we generally nominate
contributors to become committers when they have:
- contributed a series of high-quality, non-trivial patches; and
- demonstrated that they are easy to work with.
Looking at the contributions report (http://tinyurl.com/a2mrzy) I see a
few folks who've contributed lots of patches but who have not yet been
proposed as committers. From a glance at the interactions, these folks
do not appear to be hard to work with, but I cannot claim to have
followed Thrift closely enough to be sure, nor to nominate any myself.
But it does seem like some of the more active committers might strongly
consider nominating a few folks on thrift-priv...@.
