Noel, if you don't mind I'll also answer this.
I agree with the principle (otherwise we get back to complete PMC incubation independence and things blow up) but there are a few things worth asking:
1) how do people get on the incubation PMC? any committer? only members? members and officials? everybody committer that previously has a record of helping incubation? just curious of what feelings are.
After being voted in by existing Incubator members, as for every Apache Project. Basically it's about people willing to do stuff.
2) isn't the incubation more an oversight group, a task force, then a project?
Conceptually, yes. It's a "project" because it gives an easy legal framework (like in the rest of the Apache projects) and is made to outlive "original contributors".
I don't see the problem in the name, where I work everything that "does" something is a project.
3) shouldn't the sponsor PMC provide periodical updates on the status to the incubator?
This has been proposed, and I favor it.
I know the above sounds utterly beaurocratic, but I can't think of anything simpler than this.
