Thanks Chris for your feedback. Yes, this vote is only intended to be held in the Sqoop community. However, according to the guide on graduation [2], the guidance on community graduation vote explicitly suggests copying the Incubator general list when the vote is proposed. Hence, I added the general list in the cc of the vote mail.
Also, I do state explicitly in the vote mail that if this community vote is successful, we will draft a board resolution proposal and call it to vote on the general Incubator list. When we do draft the board resolution proposal it will have details about initial PMC.
