As Reza says, only two of the initial committers listed at [1] are
part of the upcoming PMC, so one could argue that the community has
rebuilt itself during incubation, which is a good sign for the future
of the project.

That being said, I agree that a PMC with five members is really small,
but my feeling is that due to the project's scope its community will
remain small, and I don't see how staying in the Incubator would help
it grow more than graduating. That's why, as a DeviceMap mentor, I
have recommended graduation.
