Re: [DISCUSS] Graduate Apache Fluss (Incubating) as a Top Level Project

Hi Yu,

Thank you for the affiliation breakdown, that is helpful. However, I notice that it includes the mentors; if you remove those, it looks less diverse.

However, my other questions about PMC selection criteria have not yet been answered. Specifically:
- What criteria were used to select the proposed PMC members?
- Were active committers who are not on the proposed list considered, and if so, why were they not included?

To make this concrete: Anton Borisov has responded in this thread, and his contributions are visible and significant. He is a committer from outside the founding organisation, which is exactly the kind of diversity the ASF looks for in a graduating PMC. Yet he is not on the proposed PMC list. The same applies to multiple other committers who, by a measurable activity metric, are more active than some proposed PMC members.

I am not asking the PPMC to justify every individual inclusion or exclusion. I am asking for the criteria and process that was used, so the IPMC can assess this.

Kind Regards,
Justin
