How should we note this on our status page? Unfortunately, there's only one "no" and the rest are all "unknowns" so there's no model to work from.
I think this is a factor in the "Diversity" category. This category tries to represent the independence of committers from each other (and employers from each other). A sentence that states "All eight of the Cayenne committers are independent of each other" is a very powerful affirmation of diversity.
Should we take the "Collaborative development" questions and make them into status items? One of these questions seems unnecessary: "Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers?" To the best of my knowledge, there's only one way to do this as an ASF project -- discuss decisions on the dev mailing lists and vote, with binding votes cast by (P)PMC members. Maybe it should be rephrased along the lines of "Are all committers aware of the ASF decision-making guidelines?"
Yeah, I agree that the guidelines for decision-making are documented. So you are correct to interpret this as you indicate.
To make this more formal, you could patch the guidelines page and see if others in incubator agree. <shields up/>
