Thanks JB! Totally agree with you, and I'll be happy to help to move this project forward if I can.
I'm not sure what will be in the maturity matrix to allow a project to graduate, but I do believe that we need the next release (v0.8 ?) soon and it might give the community an idea about the feature set available and what's missing if any. On my side, there are a couple of pull requests that I'm interested in for sure.
