23 * Committers number expands when Parser project itself grows.
24 * Committer swap to ensure participating company’s interest.
25 * Do not mandatory set limit to ban contributors to run, the ultimate result of
26 a promotion is still a consensus driven by community discussion.
31 * Committers should be a small group of core contributors that could provide

52 committer member from the same company, then the promotion should be put
53 through with enough discussions.
54 * There will be a cap on committer number per company. It is recommended that
55 each participating should not have more than 2 committers at the moment.
