We should probably be more careful about what projects are accepted into commons.

Agreed, but how do we do that?
On one hand, its too easy to start a project in Commons, and then have the project stall (for a plethora of reasons). OTOH, our charter says the sandbox is fairly "open". Needs some objective definition if we're going to be selective (such as saying something to the effect of your sentence below and then standing firm).
Well, maybe we just should emphasise that it's not a "failure" for a project to start in the sandbox then move to Sourceforge or similar.
Hopefully projects in the sandbox *do* gather a solid team of developers who are already apache committers, in which case promotion to proper and support for real releases isn't a problem. However projects that are a success technically, but don't gather the necessary community *can* and *should* move elsewhere rather than be regarded as a "failure".

Indeed, we should start emphasizing this whenever a new component is added to sandbox, have a section on the website and point to it while welcoming new components ... etc. :-) I might even summarize this in the blurb for the website, since folks seem to agree.
