I would recommend the following; Look at who are subscribed to the private list, i.e. member of the PPMC. These people form the PMC and the initial committer list upon graduation. If then somebody who has worked on this before, let's say Ken Arnold, shows up and want to do work, I'd expect that to translate to an immediate committer upon merit 10 years ago. Each Top Level Project set their own standard of what is required to become a committer and PMC member. Some projects have a very low bar, and others a very high one. The higher one are harder to defend when criticized by Board and/or old timer ASFers. The variations are endless, and I think River has no reason to keep the bar particularly high for neither committership nor PMC. It will be one of the first tasks of the PMC to work out after graduation.
