See my previous post. The Incubator itself can accept projects, if it so

Incubator wants to allow it. But for exit, it will need *some* PMC to
accept it, or for the Board to agree to creating a new PMC for it.
Plus, we need someone in the Incubator to *accept* being the official shepherd for the podling. We cannot accept a project into Incubator without someone with the Incubator watching over it.
What about a case like me, where I'm a member shepherding XMLBeans on behalf of the XML PMC? How do I fit into the incubator? Am I just an incubator committer, am I part of the PMC? It's a little confusing. I completely agree that someone has to be the go-to person for a podling.
Darn good question.
I consider a person in your position as a committer to Incubator but
not ("yet"??) a PMC member. This is to avoid excessive churn within
the PMC structure itself (otherwise we'd have PMC members coming
and going with each podling). Agreed that we need a better and
more official (and documented!) description of this
position, however.
