I don't read it that way. Yes, ASF projects only contain individuals, but most of those individuals are employed and are in some way influenced by their employer. Calling out that the initial set of committers will be diverse and that a majority of those committers will be coming from places other than the company donating the code is very good to know. Perhaps the sentence should be reworded to simply reflect that.
