We have some actual field experience about labs' lifecycle. As expected by Labs' founders, many projects stall. Very few projects get contributions from others than their original contributor. I remember 4 Labs moving out and survive a substantial time. One went to github, one to Incubator (not yet graduated, stalled), one to another project (active) and one taken somewhere else by the original contributor (and therefore copyright holder) and being in active production. At least one Lab appears to be (have been) in production without ever being release by the ASF.
