Then we have a different policy to put into place: NO PR WITHOUT THE
APPROVAL OF THE PRC.  And that should be applied to ALL ASF PROJECTS, not
just those in the Incubator.  That puts more work on the PRC, which will
need to grow to scale, but I'd go for such an ASF-wide policy.  We would
have to document that broadly, and make it clear to donors.  That probably
won't help with the "We're planning to donate" type announcements, but ...

Hopefully, a 3 active mentor policy will help with this issue.
