Hi, I sent a reply earlier, but my email is acting up and looks like it didn’t get through. I have some concerns with this proposal.
In general, the incubator likes projects to have a code base and a small community, I’m not seeing a community here. Trying to build one during incubation can be difficult. We have recently rejected proposals in a similar state, asking them to come back when they have more of a community around the project. The PPMC/committer split is unusual. There seems to be little relation to people who have contributed to the project and the initial committer list. A large number of the people involved in commits (80+%) are from one vendor, with two exceptions, and two others have made one or two minor commits of a couple of lines. Adding people to PPMC to help out also seems unusual, as that is the mentor's job. In short, this seems to me (and I could be wrong) like a project mostly from a single vendor, but the proposal has been made to make it look like more people are involved. It may well be that these people will be involved, but I’d prefer if the project was upfront about this and added committers the usual way during incubation. In short, the initial commit list looks problematic to me. Kind Regards, Justin P.S. The repo landing page/readme has some ASF trademark issues that would be good to address. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
