Becoming a TLP does sound preferable. A three person PMC is the absolute
minimum but i don't recall ever seeing a podling graduate with that few.
The problem is that as soon as one person goes away then the project is
unable to get the three binding votes necessary to do releases so the
project stalls. Even four seems a little small so if five or more people
could be found its likely to make things easier. Smaller podlings often add
their mentors to help make up the numbers, a problem here is that you two
are the mentors so that doesn't help. To be honest i think your best bet
could be to try recruit a couple more new mentors and then include them
along with all the current listed committers in the graduation proposal.
About the Droids name, the Incubator podling naming guide is here (if you
didn't already know): http://incubator.apache.org/guides/names.html. If
you'd like i can start going through that for you to see if it helps about
the name?

The committer list is 9 people long, but it's been a while since I've
seen some of them around. We might be able to swing a 5 person PMC,
which is more desirable than a 3 person PMC.
I knew about the naming guidelines, I just haven't had the chance to go
through it. If you have time to help out, that would be great. I just
don't have enough work or personal time at this point dedicate time to
that particular process.
