I would also be happy to sit on the PMC and help with release votes.

<br>
&gt;Building a community for a small project is indeed hard work.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;Are there any other projects in the ASF that benefit from your<br>
&gt;existence? That is are there any projects that depend on your code?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;If there is then you might consider approaching those project<br>
&gt;communities and indicating that you are having problems getting<br>
&gt;releases out. Invite people from that PMC to join your own PMC so that<=
br>
&gt;they can do IP reviews on our releases and continue to use the code.<br=
>
&gt;<br>
&gt;If there are no direct dependencies are there any projects in a<br>
&gt;related space? You might find people willing to help out with IP<br>
&gt;reviews.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;As Luciano says having regular releases is important to building<br>
&gt;community. Therefore I suggest your first point of focus should be on<b=
r>
&gt;ensuring you have people willing and able to help you get releases<br>
&gt;out. After that you can start focussing on attracting new<br>
&gt;contributors.<br>
