The real point though is not size - its *activity*. Take a look at the recent vote for the RAT 0.7 release on the RAT dev list[1] - it only managed to get 3 vote. I know commit stats are not everything but of the 7 people who have committed on RAT trunk in the past year only 3 are in double figures. My concern is if RAT goes TLP then it may be a small step away from not being able to get 3 PMC votes.
