Well, the point is: we are talking about small libraries. Imagine there is library X which was developed by only 2 developers. They want to bring this code to Commons. What to do? IP clearance is one thing. But what about the 2 developers? Just make them committers while they have no clue about Apache? Doesn't sound like a good idea. Just accepting their code and make them send patches until we feel they are ready? Feels not appropriate since they are the authors of the code. On the other hand going through the "normal" incubator is a bit over the top for a project that is so small that it is not targeting to become it's own project. Building a community is not really that applicable in this case. It's rather about integrating it into an existing community.
