I think the terms mean different things, from the incubator perspective. Dormant - we're not active enough right now for a full community, but believe later on we can build it back up. Retired - we've given up all hope of becoming a TLP, instead we think it's best to archive the code/move it to github/move it to bitbucket and allow others who want to work on it to just grab it and go.
