Ambari's code base isn't functional yet and until it is and it is difficult to build a community until a version works. All of the contributors are employed by Hortonworks, which exposes the project to the whims of the company's priorities. There's a new code base that has been checked in on a branch that is close to working.

I agree that Ambari is no where close to graduation and was close to being dead.
