I concur with Chris, and want to strengthen/meta the point. The Incubator should not be used for projects which are intended to become part of an existing TLP. The Incubator *creates* Apache-style communities. But... Stop.
For these, we don't want a separate/new community. They are supposed to be *part of* the existing TLP. Thus, they have no business here. They should start within the target TLP. I'd like to suggest two changes: 1) Incubation is for new TLPs only. Turn off the "graduate-into-TLP" option. 2) Move the "short form" IP clearance to Legal Affairs, to clarify that we're only talking IP, rather than other concerns.
