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.

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.

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.

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?
