It would also mean it is f.e. me who needs to apply all patches. I have not a good clue, cannot not easily discuss the code and of course it is frustrating for other devs to see their patches waiting for a long time in the queue. In incubation, we can give out commit access a bit easier (we do this a lot with other incoming projects). If you are actually providing bugfix patches, it might be enough already for committership. Basically there are many people who "keep an eye on the project", discuss, commit a few things but keep their level of activity pretty low. This works too, as long as the person "sticks" with the project. Basically with what you describe you would probably make up a good committer, even when you "just commit" a couple of hours to log4cxx. That said, with your honest estimation we should still look for a few other people. It is always easier to keep a project running with a couple of people.
