One thing that I like to add is checking that the suggested PMC roster
is realistic, i.e. consists of people who are actually active.
https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/ppmc/netbeans lists 85 PPMC members,
I suppose a number of them aren't really active.

To prune this roster I suggest that the PPMC asks all these people
(via this list, with an [IMPORTANT] subject line header maybe) to
confirm that they are active or intend to become active again soon.
And mention that if they don't reply within a given amount of time
they won't be included in the proposed PMC roster. Maybe just send the
proposed roster here and ask people to confirm.

If someone is removed and becomes active again after graduation it's
easy to re-add them with a PMC vote, so I think it's better to start
with a smaller but realistic list of PMC members.

Here is the e-mail thread requested above:

Apache Members on the Future Apache NetBeans PMC

...

Green – no question, this person is active (one or more of committing code, working on docs, active on mailing lists, tweeting, community outreach, knowledgeable, etc) and committed)

Orange - not sure, need to check

Red - checked, they said "no, please remove me" or didn't respond or couldn't be tracked down and haven't been active

Blue - checked, they said "I haven't been active, will become active, please keep me"
