So we can look at poddlings which aren't very active and say it doesn't have three people committing regularly and therefore doesn't meet that requirement. However in reality there maybe three people who are at least watching and would step up and interact on votes etc when things require it. There are TLPs that operate like that. Is that enough for a poddling? I think the answer comes down to that trust issue, if its a bunch of ASF members we all know we're more lenient than if its a bunch of new comers none of us know. ...ant
