I would also propose:
The PRC is willing to issue formal press releases for all podlings who
successfully graduate from the Incubator and are interested in
issuing a
press release. See below...
5. Until the Incubator PMC approves a podling proposal *and* the
podling initial drop code is in our source code repositories, a
project or any affiliated persons SHOULD NOT issue any 'press
releases' or affirmatively seek positive publicity (such as 'seeding
news stories') .
I would amend, as I see three stages:
Podling is in proposal/or pre-code-drop process: No press
whatsoever. Not
allowed to call a project by Apache Foo name until project is
officially in
incubation and code has been submitted into repositories.
Podling has been approved for incubation/podling has launched dev
mailing
lists / podling has dropped code into repository: Project and
affiliated
persons can issue press releases that reference the podling, but
cannot
issue press releases with the specific intent of announcing the
Podling.
Podling can conduct informal pr activities, such as media outreach,
blog
publicity, etc.
I'm left very unclear about what is allowed in a press release and
what isn't. Examples might be helpful. Based on my confusion, I
also don't understand why a press release saying that project X is
starting incubation with community members x1, x2, x3, etc would be
undesirable as long is it makes the incubation status clear.

Podling has been approved to graduate from the incubator: Formal press
release, issued by the ASF. Or jointly by the ASF and any affiliated
organizations/groups.
