As long as you make sure that the questions are more obvious from the docs
afterwards, don't apologize :-)

Its not just the ip clearance that's needed. There's the concept of an
incubator status file (see below).

if the right emails are sent as documented on /dev/, yup.

No. It needs to happen prior to making any kind of release, and no LGPL
code or binaries should touch our SVN. But working on removing such a
dependency while within the incubator is okay.

Yes, go ahead. I think this is quite a tricky thing to do. Jeff Turner is
the guy from the infra team to talk to.

No particular dependencies. Provide the subscriber list as a file with
email addresses seperated by newlines and add it to the jira issue, and
its easy for the apmail people to add all those people in one swoop.
Once that is done you can send an email to the new mailing list and all
those people will know they're on a new list.

Handling external mailing list archives (eg marc, mail-archives, gmane)
might be a little work and depends on how those archives are set up to
interact with the ASF stuff; I think some of them have 'special' support.

The first step before doing any of the above is to get an incubation
status file filled out and up on

  http://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html

Eg, start off with

  
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/site-author/projects/incubation-status-template.xml

cheers,

Leo
