Re: Asking for Feedback: CouchDB Graduation
Its not and five active people is certainly viable, but my point really was for the long term viability in case people leave the project. There are plenty of active Apache projects with less than 5 active people, and there are other PMCs that are now inactive. I don't think its necessary for the incubator to get projects to the point where you can guarantee this project will survive forever. I believe our job is simply to make sure that the project meets the same criteria as a current Apache projects. I can compare CouchDB to many existing successful projects.

Re: Asking for Feedback: CouchDB Graduation
I know theres been a push to get projects to graduate, but IMO CouchDB would benefit from growing its community a bit more first. I think that 5 is a perfectly reasonable size, as long as the team is working well. I just voted +1 to Buildr which has the same size PPMC. As I see it, CouchDB : * has continued an existing diverse Open Source community under the ASF model * Added a committer * Done releases * Meets the diversity requirements. * Is growing well To me that is sufficient to graduate.

Re: Asking for Feedback: CouchDB Graduation
I haven't been following CouchDB but a PMC of five seems small - you only have to loose a couple of people and you're on the verge of not being a viable project. I took a look through the lists and from what I can see CouchDB entered incubation with four committers in February (the proposal listed six, but apparently was a mistake[1]) and has added one new person just over a month ago[2]. I know theres been a push to get projects to graduate, but IMO CouchDB would benefit from growing its community a bit more first. Also, since there have been two releases while here, I assume all the due-dilligence has been completed, but the status page[3] has not been completed to reflect that - so if you do go for graduation it would be nice if that was updated first.
