Bernd has a good point. Actually the underlying problem is that we (ASF) introduced Apache-Extras but the code over there has no implicit IP grant. This can also even be GPLed code... Whereas otoh for contributing to a MyFaces sandbox project you need to be an ASF committer already.
Usually getting code contributions of a medium sized quantity over into an ASF project doesn't always need an incubation. This can also just be done by creating a Jira issue and attaching all the code as patch. I've done this for the openjpa-maven-plugin donation to OpenJPA that way [1]. Of course all contributors need an iCLA on file.
