But since there is no signal, I think it is not a good thing.
Let's wait for a while, but other projects in incubator have a better
growing community.

There's some rules written down at
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html and
other documents on the incubator.apache.org site.

Once accepted, we typically work on intellectual property clearance
and setting up infrastructure (source code repository, mailing lists,
etc.) for the project.  Once that's done, work can continue on the
project using ASF infrastructure: commits into the ASF repository,
releases from ASF mirrors, etc.  Most activity that can be done on a
normal project can also be done on an incubating project, subject to
some additional oversight and checks / criteria, such as clearly
indicating the incubation status of the project in releases.

For situations like Kabuki, a number of things may happen, as I
understand it.  It could still turn out in a positive manner, if more
people indicate interest and start actively working on the project.
It could end up like Axion or Depot, which were "retired from
incubation" (see http://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html).  Or
somewhere in the middle...
