I don't know. This "people management" bit of incubation is not something for which we can easily set (or, want to set) a rule.
You can take the choice to minimize the risk that something ("something" here being incubation) will not work out. Not taking chances does mean a lot of exiting oppurtunities are lost.
OTOH you can choose to take a lot of risk and just accept any project. You are certain to have many "dead projects" lying around then, and you definately need a cleanup policy.
The problem of striking the right balance is a difficult one. I don't think we are quite sure where it should be, which is okay, as long as we keep evaluating :-D
I myself am inclined to restrict this kind of "policy" to whatever is required to keep the ASF legally defensible, but no more. That is basically what we're doing now, no?
