Ok, thanks. The questions in the status file are in line with the
information I was looking for.

We should link to or include the text of STATUS at
<http://incubator.apache.org/process.html>, since process.html claims to
provide that sort of information, but provides substantially less detail.
As far as I can tell, there's no direct link or mention of STATUS on
http://incubator.apache.org.

The process.html document implies that the rough timeframe should be
known before the process is initiated.  Should that not be the case?
