Proposing new committers would typically lie within a PPMC. However, accepting them is the job of the Incubator PMC. If a podling does not have enough committers to vote in a new committer, all that is needed is three +1 votes from IPMC members, and someone is in. Having said that, getting three IPMC members to the position where they can vote might not be easy. For a small project, of one or two committers, I'd say expecting three mentors is serious overkill. One would be enough, at least to get the podling restarted.
