Jakartees,
This thread just got more formidably valuable with the latest follow-ups by Kevin & Wayne, KUDOS you two! :)
Wayne, what you wrote could be not only added to a quick blog but also to EF .adoc, MUST know stuff. Up to you its placement, priority to scale beyond this thread, if at all possible.
Greg, what you continue to do in OSS is of most value, you freaking rock!!!
I hear you and understand your thought. However, if you ask for the Leads to own such a responsibility the project itself will be a failure to attract DOERS and scale beyond just a few people that doesn't not have the mind set to scale and become a trainee to the next potential Committer, today a Contributor.
For example, in MicroProfile we have 3 releases per year. Two MicroProfilers Lead the way under each Release, one is the Trainee (not a Committer YET future Committer after earning a few scars in the process and the other is the Trainer. This is a chain where the MicroProfile ecosystems by choice and discipline chooses to scale & atract with hard core tasks anyone interested to own such role. Titles mean nothing to us and we have so much fun protecting that environment.
Can you ensure that the project current contributors/committers consume this thread? Further can they, those who desire to participate and use their voices as you have nicely done?
PS: Greg I adore you as a friend and have missed you in person-person hug.

Lastly, I believe it is ok to for me to ask the question below without hidejacking the focus on this thread. If incorrect, I am happy to send a create a new thread and send it out to this forum, do advise:
How many committers have been appointed thus far to the Jakarta EE Project?
Bias here, I want to know b/c most often I get asked about this on public Conferences and also via private mediums. My reply has been since Q3 2018 that the Project itself is being set up and that number is changing to fit processes. Today, the project has 1 release out with Jakarta 9 scheduled for June.
Is the timing OK for this community to bring transparency on WHO is a committer under each Jakarta Project?
If yes, can this be placed on both:
Cheers,
