The Incubator project needs to take a proactive role in ensuring that new
projects are brought to Apache the right way, not just be an extra helper.
This means documentation, processes to be followed etc.

I'm worried that Tapestry hasn't been incubated, and hence is missing out
somehow.

I'll agree to disagree on that point.

I'm hoping that the incubator project didn't delegate the incubation of
Tapestry to myself and Andy without somehow informing us. There have been
various requests along the way for more information and documentation
along the way, and many unanswered emails {1-4} etc.

Having been involved in helping Tapestry, I feel a complete absence of any
incubation presence working with the project. I can't speak about any
other effort.
