It's about having an "elder" shepherd mentoring the main shepherd, and possibly requiring at least two people helping in Incubation.
As someone who has seen multiple incubations, you feel that there is an expertise related to incubation held by people who have devoted time to going through this process previously, and you would like to see that expertise leveraged for the benefit of the podling and the ASF. If the Incubator PMC feels, in the course of exercising its duties, that more than oversight is necessary in a given instance, e.g., that the Shephard could use some help, there is nothing that prevents the Incubator PMC from taking that, or other, action to help out. It is just less formal.
Berin, does that reflect your intent?
Yes it does indeed reflect my original intent. You are reading my mind :>.
I get it too now ;-)
So, having read the other e-mails, it seems to me that we can take the same approach as with the sponsor. This is an important potential role, but one that is not "formally" locked into the processes and procedures.
So under the Incubator PMC section, I can (and will) add some text around "for particularly complex incubations, or in cases where the Shepherd needs assistance, the Incubator PMC may choose to provide assistance, possibly through assigning another experienced Shepherd to assist in the process" - or something similar and better worded.
Let me know if there are any objections, but I believe that this is a good way forward.

Thanks guys, this thing is finally moving big time! :-D
