I'd like to see a change in incubator policy w.r.t. voting new committers. While there are no Foundation policies on how to vote new committers, we do have best practices documented in http://community.apache.org/newcommitter.html that explicitly calls for consensus approval of at least three positive votes and no vetoes.
Applying this to the incubator, it makes sense to me to change the incubator policy to require a vote (no lazy consensus) and at least three PPMC votes in favor. I'd also add a requirement for at least one Mentor vote in favor. After graduation, communities might feel that they know better and can adopt bylaws that are different from the community best practices. But while in incubation I think that we should enforce best practice.
