Following the community discussion [1], we start the vote call for Kvrocks to graduate from the Apache incubator as a top-level Apache project. Kvrocks has been incubating since 2022-04-29. For over 12 months, the community has developed rapidly under the guidance of mentors and the Apache way. We believe the Kvrocks project has met the conditions for graduation. The project maturity model is detailed in [2] and the summary of the state of the community is listed below.
**Code, License, and Copyright** Kvrocks community maintains project code on GitHub and all modules code is under Apache 2.0 license. We have reviewed all the dependencies and ensured they do not bring any license issues [3]. All the status files, license headers, and copyright are up to date. Kvrocks' official website [4] is compliant with Apache Foundation requirements [5]. **Release** Kvrocks community released a total of 4 Apache versions by 4 different release managers from 4 different organizations. 900+ pull requests created[6], and 440+ issues created[7]. The release cadence is about 2 months, with about 100 pull requests per release. **Community** 2 new PPMC members were added, bringing the total number of PPMC members to 10 from at least 8 different organizations. 4 new committers were added(including the new PPMC members) , the total number of committers is now 19, and from at least 11 different organizations. 49 new contributors. The number of contributors is now 74 and growing. We think it's a diverse and Influential community now. **Quality** Kvrocks community created 21 GitHub workflows, which cover code style, compiling, unit & integration tests, license checks, and so on. All code patches need to pass these pipelines first. **Independence** All of the 10 PPMC members are spread across more than 8 different organizations.
