Coming in from the side-lines … simply based on the fact that the proposed PMC has only grown by one member during the entire graduation sort of feels odd to me. A project going through incubation is supposed to learn to self-govern itself … that is creating releases, voting in new committers and promoting committers to become part of the PPMC.
Feels a bit like graduating a project that only did one release. Chris Von: Justin Mclean <[email protected]> Datum: Dienstag, 26.

I am asking whether the community reflected on who had contributed during incubation before proposing the graduation PMC list. Looking at the discussion thread, it proposed the same list as the original donation proposal, with one addition. There is no evidence that the community asked "who has contributed during incubation and should be recognised" or "are there committers who have earned PMC membership through their work during this period." That reflection is what I would expect to see before a project graduates, regardless of whether it is written down. To make this concrete: at least one proposed PMC member appears to have made no visible contributions during incubation, with only a small number of minor contributions immediately before donation (I might have the exact dates wrong, but it seems that’s correct at a casual glance) . If the community had genuinely reflected on merit during incubation, it is hard to see how that person would be on the proposed list. Can the project explain why they are on the initial PMC list?
