Now that time is freeing up a tiny bit, I need to document a thread from August that would put pressure on projects who haven't done their IP handling. I'm less worried about a podling who haven't graduated after 12 months and more worried about a podling who haven't managed to get their CLAs right within 3 months. We still have far too many podlings who haven't signed off on that (first) part of their incubation. So +1 in sentiment, but a different focus.
