I can speak only for ZK but we are hitting on all cylinders from this
list. All the process/infra/legal items have long ago been committed. We
have strong partnerships with multiple Apache projects (HBase and Solr
in particular) and a dedication to "the apache way".

If you read through the full thread, and not just the snippets Doug
pulled, you would see a strong community and commitment to both
increasing diversity and gaining TLP status. The hurdle we face today
wrt diversity is that while usage is picking up, it's been historically
hard for us to gain contributors. This is primarily due to the fact that
we have a) highly targeted & complex project, and b) relatively mature
project and user base. We are not a new project, where the majority of
code is yet to be written. We are working to increase diversity, (again,
see the thread for some discussion of this) however it's slow going.
Recently we have seen a big upswing in users (twitter, digg, Solr,
Cassandra, Neo4j, etc...) due to our efforts at evangelism. The hope is
that these new users, along with some new areas for development, would
stimulate contributor growth. If you have any ideas or could provide
help in this area please feel free to discuss on our dev list.
