Ehm, we are not talking aobut exiting incubation, we are talking about releasing it.
ah, in that case, from the same document:
---- http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases%0A
"As podlings are not yet fully accepted as part of the Apache Software Foundation, any software releases (including code held in publically available CVS) made by Podlings will not be endorsed by the ASF.
However, as software releases are an important part of any software project, they are permitted in certain circumstances, as follows.
Podlings in Incubation SHALL NOT perform any releases of software without the explicit approval of the Incubator PMC. Such approval SHALL be given only after the Incubator PMC has followed the process detailed in (Reference to Charter), and SHALL NOT occur until all source has been legally transferred to the ASF.
Therefore, should a Podling decide it wishes to perform a release, the Podling SHALL formally request the Incubator PMC approve such a release. The request SHALL have the endorsement of the Mentor.
Should the Incubator PMC, in accordance with (Reference to Charter) vote to approve the request, the Podling MAY perform the release under the following constraints :
* the release archive MUST contain the word "incubating" in the filename; and
* the release archive MUST contain an Incubation disclaimer (as described in the previous section), clearly visible in the main documentation or README file."

Which translates to "Stefano and Nicola agree this is a good thing, lenya peeps ask for release endorsement vote on [EMAIL PROTECTED]".
IMV, releases are kind-of discouraged.
Why are you not talking about exiting incubation? Lenya's been here for a year now, hasn't it?
From looking at the status file, it seems the only thing needing doing is a legal audit, which needs to happen before a release anyway!
I'd suggest taking care of the legal stuff, updating the status file, and after that starting two votes: one from the incubator pmc for graduation, and then one from the cocoon pmc for the release. Cocoon is probably better able to judge release quality, and it makes a more exiting press release :-D
cheers!
