+1 On https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-287 I wrote the following, which sounds harsh and may have resulted in a miscommunication: The Incubator itself does not require that podlings assess progress using the Maturity Model. If there are podlings or Mentors who need to be disabused of such a notion, that education work needs to happen in the Incubator's own forums. It's only a problem when a podling treats the Maturity Model and its soft criteria as hard requirements and lets progress be blocked. That's a misapplication of the Maturity Model itself (and arguably shows that the project is not mature). Mature contributors understand how to avoid getting hung up unnecessarily. Actually, the Maturity Model can be a very nice framework to organize incubation around. (Moreso than, say, an enumeration of our policies, which would overemphasize rules.) The Incubator might not formally integrate the Maturity Model today, but perhaps that could change.
