Actually, as SLF4J is just 4 simple core classes + 2 classes per
concrete logging library, there isn't much need for a large pool of
committers. I would say 3 people (to ensure project continuity) is as
many as SLF4J would ever need.

The number of people who can *vote* on SLF4J design-related matters is a
different issue. I guess the committers for SLF4J are the ones that
decide the policy on that, but I would recommend that the policy be that
 * the committers on SLF4J
 * plus any committer on log4j
 * plus any committer on JCL
all be entitled to vote, and that voting follow standard ASF procedures.

Regards,

Simon
