With respect to "Initially, we plan to start with one committer each from

consider
to be an anti-pattern.
That is not the intent. The intent is for Yahoo! to assign someone to
work on this project as a direct contributor. But that person has not
yet been identified.
Whomever is to be actively involved in development
should be on the committer list. If it is just a community of just
The Two
Michaels, fine, but the wording should be rephrased.
+1 If Y! does not name someone soon, then that entry should be removed.
A committer from Y! can always be added later, based on merit.
No; the entry should be removed now.
Yahoo the Company cannot place a reservation on a place at the table for
an unnamed body. This is not how the ASF works. Nor are committers
expressed as delegates of the institutions the work for/study at.
This places a cloud over the acceptance of this particular project, and
I would encourage everyone to be sure their mentors/champions review the
text before posting a proposal for incubation..
