@srowen search for "RTC vs CTR (was: Concerning Sentry...)"
From Todd Lipcon:
```
I don't have incubator stats... nor do I have a good way to measure "most
active" or "most successful" projects in the ASF (seems that itself could
be a 'centithread'-worthy discussion). But a potential proxy could be the
number of stars on github:
https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=user%3Aapache&type=Repositories&ref=searchresults
(sort by number of stars)
Of the top ten:
Spark: RTC via github pull request
Storm: RTC (https://storm.apache.org/documentation/BYLAWS.html see "Code
Change")
Cassandra: RTC (based on my skimming the commit log which has "Reviewed by"
quite often)
CouchDB: RTC (http://couchdb.apache.org/bylaws.html see "RTC" section)
Kafka: RTC (based on "Reviewed by" showing up in recent commit logs)
Thrift: CTR
Mesos: RTC (based on reviewboard links in most of the recent commits)
Zookeeper: RTC (based on personal experience and comments above in this
thread)
Cordova: CTR (based on
https://github.com/apache/cordova-coho/blob/master/docs/committer-workflow.md
)
Hadoop: RTC (based on personal experience)
Briefly looking through the #11 through #30 projects I also see a
substantial number which operate on RTC (and others for which I don't know)
So, I don't think there's much evidence that RTC prevents a project from
becoming successful in the eyes of the developer community. Also worth
noting that several of these are relatively new TLPs (i.e. within the last
~3 years) whereas others are quite old but still active and successful.
```
BTW I didn't realize (and neither did Todd) ASF's definition of "RTC" is
min 3 vote consensus, which is pretty odd.
The convention has always been find somebody who understands the area to
review and give explicit LGTM. There are some exceptions like tiny changes
(basically very similar to your paragraph on judgement call).
