Sometimes the repository-to-transfer is in an Organization that will not allow Infra to become an owner (for example, a bank). For those cases, we use an intermediate Organization where an owner of the repo-to-transfer can be added as an admin to that intermediate. They can then transfer from the closely-held Organization to the intermediate. Then Infra will move it one more time into the Apache Organization on GitHub. This is pretty routine, and just requires an INFRA ticket with links to any votes/approvals for the move into the Apache org. Cheers, Greg Infrastructure Administrator, ASF
