Mandy,

Thank you for the suggestions. PMC is working to formalize the expectations to 
be offered committer and PMC roles. Once the details are finalized, I will 
update the community. 

Until the details are finalized, I/PMC offer to mentor any committers wanting 
to work to become a PMC. PMC can be reached at priv...@atlas.apache.org.

Regards,
Madhan

    Hello Madhan,
    This reasoning makes sense.  But it is worrying that no new committers are 
    becoming long term contributors to the project.  May be there would be 
    more motivation for new committers to continue contributions if there was 
    a definition of what makes a "deserving committer". I am sure it is 
    different in many cases, but just some examples might help?   For example, 
    sustained contributions over x months etc.   Building up the number of 
    experienced active committers that are progressing to be PMC members would 
    help spread the load of mentoring new contributors and committers as the 
    community grows.  This in turn could help accelerate the growth of the 
    community.
    
    All the best
    Mandy

    Mandy,
    
    Consistent contribution over period of time is the key criteria to become 
    a committer and then PMC. As you noted, Atlas PMC has been moving 
    contributors to committers based on their sustained involvement and 
    contributions in the project. While new folks continue to join the 
    community and make awesome contributions, there has been reduced 
    engagement from recent committers; hence no recent additions to PMC. Atlas 
    PMC will continue to look for contributions and engagements, and will 
    offer PMC role to deserving committers.
    
    Thanks,
    Madhan

        Dear All,
        Looking at the reports month by month, the code activity and the 
    growth in 
        the number of contributors/committers is looking very healthy.   We 
    can 
        see contributors moving to committer status.  However it does look 
    strange 
        that no new committer has been promoted to the PMC for nearly 2 years. 
    The 
        board may see that as a possible problem in the operation of the 
        community?   Perhaps it would be helpful to send out some hints to the 
    
        community on what a committer has to do to be considered for the PMC?
     
        All the best
        Mandy
