Hi, Justin. Yes, what you understand is right.
Historical contribution is the most important dimension for us to examine initial committer, and the future potential is also evaluated comprehensively based on the developer's historical contribution and technology vision. I am sorry for not expressing this clearly. In addition, our current core contributors do come from Ant Group. The "largest" contributor you have seen at present on GitHub, whose contribution mainly comes from the commits of the project after the open source, we are encouraging such active developers to become the committer of the project in the future. At the same time, we very much hope to enhance the diversity of developers in the incubation period. Thank you again for your suggestion.
