Todd's list seems more in line with the goal of reducing project members to reflect the actual community. I see Chris' point about the community issues, however I also see Todd's point that splitting the projects does not address these issues while bringing real overhead and rolling back things we've done recently to un-split the projects (per the vote thread I'm in favor of combining the committer lists even if we later split projects). In short, I'm open to a project split and willing to discuss, I don't yet see sufficient benefits to provide a concrete proposal myself. Thanks, Eli
