Podlings in Incubation SHALL NOT perform any releases of software without the explicit approval of the Incubator PMC.
To me, one possible reading of these two statements is that explicit approval of the Incubator PMC is required for any change to code held in publicly available CVS. I doubt that is what anyone intends.
What is intended and what happens are two very different things.
Apache is publishing incubator code via CVS. Restrictions above and beyond that are accademic and simply unnecessary overheads on projects under incubation. I would suggest the the incubator PMC address due-diligence at the appropriate level. In this context the appropriate level is the license.
(a) if a new project is importing code it should import it under an Incubator variant of ASL 1.1 with appropriate disclaimers (b) if (a) is not satisfied - then the repository is not available to the public - period - simple (c) let the project publish what it wants providing it is consitent with the license
