Justin Mclean commented on INCUBATOR-10:
----------------------------------------
There's probably a reason for this - i.e. What happened to the Jakarta project.
Not that precludes other TLP being sponsors but we don't want umbrella projects.
> Incubation_Policy.html should specify to use the Incubator PMC

> Project: Incubator
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: site
> Reporter: David Welton
> Priority: Minor
>
> This page http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html
> says:
> "Approval by a Sponsor will generally occur only after a vote within the
> Entity, and will require that the Entity be convinced that the Candidate is
> appropriate for Incubation. A Sponsor may be one of:
> * the Board of the Apache Software Foundation;
> * a Top Level Project (TLP) within the Apache Software Foundation (where
> the TLP considers the Candidate to be a suitable sub-project); or
> * the Incubator PMC."
> Although in practice it appears that the Incubator PMC is the preferred
> sponsor for projects that would end up a TLP. The site could say something
> like this:
> Where a top level project is not an appropriate sponsor, the Incubator PMC is
> the preferred sponsor. Requests should be sent to the general (AT)
> incubator.apache.org mailing list.
