Correct. It is a tool, but not a requirement (at least not yet). And since I repeatedly suggested this tool on this thread let me explain why. Think of it as when you are asking somebody to review your code. If you don't make it easy for reviewers -- don't expect them to bend over backwards to make sense out of what you submitted. Doesn't mean you'll get a -1, but don't expect a quick +1 either. Same deal with a maturity model: when the time comes for a graduation vote, if you make it easy(er) for "reviewers" to start forming an opinion on whether the community is ready or not -- you will spend less time arguing. Personally I find maturity model template to be just that kind of a tool for me. On the flip side -- not filling it out is not a blocker. It just means, for example, that *I* personally will have very little incentive to dig into the guts of a community I don't know well to really find out all the same details that mentors or community members could have communicated to me filling out the maturity model template.
