I would rather see us vote in committers based on sandbox contributions that promote a component with just one committer. Its great to have new contributors and if those working on [graph] now stick around and play nicely in the sandbox, I will be very happy to welcome them as ASF committers. > > So, I understand your concern that's only me behing [graph] but if we > are waiting for other ASF committers take part to the component, I'm > not sure we will ever have the chance to promote it from the sandbox.

Its great to get energy into dormant components and build communities around them. That's what the sandbox is for. If we allow this promotion, we are basically saying that the old "rule of 3" for sandbox promotion is gone. As I said above, I think it is much better for us to keep that rule but allow people to be voted in as committers based on (sustained, collaborative) sandbox contributions. I don't think it's a good idea to promote "one-committer shows;" but this procedural VOTE is not subject to veto, so I will shut up now.
