Here are the requirements: http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Graduating+from+the+Incubator
and are pasted below.
It seems that you don't have to actually release, but you need to have
release plans. So, what are your plans for release? Can you guys
provide status on the other stuff? I'm sure you have the Alignment
stuff down and I'm guessing all the Infrastructure stuff is done,
since I doubt you need GUMP integration. What about the legal stuff?
Presumably, y'all have CLAs on file, otherwise you wouldn't have an
account. Looks like: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/lucene.net.html
needs to be updated to reflect that there are now three committers
and to reflect the other status items.
Being in incubation since 2006 is too long in my book, but it seems
like you have a decent community here now, and, since you are going to
be a subproject, I think the standards are a bit different from TLP
anyway.
Can we work to get this going? Looks like most of it should just be
some bookkeeping at this point.
Thanks,
Grant

Hi Grant,
Has the requirement for graduation been relaxed? Just from a release
perspective, Lucene.Net has been in incubation since April 2006, and
since
than we had only one official release, Lucene.Net 2.0 on April
2007. In
addition, the new committers, Doug and DIGY don't have any release
experience yet.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for graduation, but without a sustained
release,
I don't think we will be approved.
Regards,

Hey Guys,
Grant over in PMC land here. Seems like you've got a pretty
good base going and have a few committers, what say you to
thinking about graduation? Can someone take a look into it?
Incubation is not a place to live for a long period of time.
Besides, we want you over in Lucene land full-time!
Since you are graduating to a sub-project, I believe the
requirements for grad. aren't the same as TLP.
Thanks,
Grant
