We discussed this at the TVM Community Meeting this morning.

- It seems like some of the problems addressed here (unable to assign PRs to folks outside the Apache org) are better handled by adding more folks to Apache org. Are we exploring this?

- Is there any other way to work around the limitation of being in the Apache org?

- The bar to be in Apache via TVM seems high.

- Is it possible for folks to join Apache org without being a committer?

- Are we exploring whether we can add membership roles in the ASF to address this? Getting write access to a repo seems like a fairly large step–can we take a smaller step here?

- Remember this is just one step forward, so we will continue to monitor and improve from here.
