aspect here is visibility of status and pending actions. This takes me back to the discussion about using JIRA - that's the sort of example where I could checkout open-actions on any incubator project - and based on that information I could jump in and help out.
Click on the project you want to help out: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html
Are these files not so nice? Sure, if someone crafts up nicer status files I'll be happy to switch to them.
As for using an issue tracker for this, single projects are free to do so, but it's their decision; what I have linked to is the baseline.
Keep in mind that I can see the use of JIRA for an incubation iniative as something seperate for a projects own use of JIRA for bug tracking. An incubator view is all about actions facilitating exit (exit bugs). I bet that if incubator projects could push up and maintain their top three open actions - then more people could help out simply because they can see what a project is asserting at the topics it needs incubation help on.
Ask the following question:
* what are the top three things for FTP or Directory or Xxxx to move it towards exit
I could spend an afternoon trying to put the answer together - and I'd be guessing alot along the way. Irrespective of the mechanisms used - providing a way for incubating projects to push actions up to the incubation community is going address the concern you raised about sharing the load.
Cheers, Stephen.
