- How significant is this as an indication of the total committer population?

Comments:
- The objective of this question was to find out how long the committer had been involved with the ASF and to see if it remained balanced over time (e.g. Are people joining as ASF as contributors but then not staying?)
- All respondents answered this question
- The largest group of respondents (257) had been with the ASF for less than 3 years.
- The second largest group of respondents (193) had been with the ASF 5 to 10 years,
- The third largest group of respondents (184) had been with the ASF 3 to 5 years
- It is good to see that the largest group are 'newcomers' which seems to indicate that the ASF is attracting them
