-1 (minus one) (caveat: I am going on holiday and so may not be able to argue my case, SO...IF this is a blocking vote AND I am the only -1 AND at least 5 1's are received in favour THEN please treat this as a non-blocking -0)
Reasoning for -1: I believe that promotion to commons proper should only happen when a sandbox project is close to release. Commons proper represents successful projects, and I define success by a release. [attributes] is not yet in that state. However, there is a clear need for more developers and work, and volunteers appear to exist. In fact, the issue with both [attributes] and [math] is an unwillingness to let new committers in to work just in the sandbox. I propose that the commons charter needs to be changed to allow this. To prevent 'sourceforgization' of the sandbox, I propose that - there must be at least one existing Apache committer on a sandbox project - non-Apache people cannot create a new sandbox component, an Apache committer must create it first - all commons must vote on accepting a new committer (I am back on Tue 17th. It is unlikely I will reply on this topic before then. Sorry!)
