The PMC can (should) invite active members of the community - there's no fixed size, the PMC can add members at any time.

There's no need to worry about ratios of people committing code - the PMC is about guidance, not about writing code.

I believe Apache Groovy implementations should be led by their technical people, so its PMC should only have people in it who can and do code, test, and write docs. Groovy's past problems have been due to managerial sorts running things.
