For what it's worth, none of the people on Zukka's updated commiter list above are affiliated with Sun, nor are they affiliated with Oracle; and haven't been for quite some time. If a committer's affiliation with a given company is going to affect the decision of whether or not a project can graduate, then it seems like it's probably important to update all committer affiliations with the latest information before making such a decision. With respect to this specific case (river graduation), since I've seen numerous (sometimes biased) references to the Sun affiliation of the various committers, I'm wondering how long after a committer leaves a company that a such an affiliation no longer affects graduation. Does the process address this question, either directly or indirectly? For example, with respect to Hadoop and its sub-projects (specifically, Zookeeper), what was the ratio of Yahoo! developers to non-Yahoo! developers? And if that ratio was high, what allowed those projects to graduate? I ask because I see (anecdotally, based on the Zookeeper developer list traffic) about the same number of active Zookeeper posters/committers as I do on the river list.

So, I'd hate to see a decision made that is based on inaccurate information. Brian
