That's what I was asking about. In particular, the person who was inquiring me off-line about this proposal had a non-trivial amount of commits to then Sun NetBeans between 2002-2008. He then drifted away from the project but would be interested, potentially, re-engaging. Given the size of the pool of potential candidates like that, I'm not saying we should block the VOTE until we get the initial committer list just right. Still, the question remain -- for somebody like that, what would be a criteria to be added as a committer after the project enters incubation?
