Good catch Daniel Samza community, be aware that the incubator is attempting to be more responsive to the occasional blocker on a podlings progress. You are the first of our podlings to receive this welcome email and as such you are also exposed to its "bugs". In all likelihood this "bug" will not affect you in practice.
This discussion about the ombud is going around in circles and we need to close it. As an interim step I have edited the wiki to remove reference to the non-existent ombud. If the IPMC fails to deal with a podlings issue effectively then it is a failure of the IPMC and therefore a board issue. I've updated the para in the doc to say: "In certain circumstances, there are specific people charged with specific responsibilities. Over time you can expect to learn who they are, and where they hang out. Your mentors should be able to guide you while you do learn. If, for whatever reason, they are unable or unwilling to help you can ask on the incubator general list (gene...@incubartor.apache.org). If the topic is too sensitive to discuss in public (eg a potential committer) you may contact the incubator PMC at priv...@incubator.apache.org. In the unlikely event that you are still unable to find a resolution then you can escalate to the Apache Board via your regular board reports. Should the matter be urgent feel free to contact the board via bo...@apache.org at any time. Please note that all these channels are concerned with the community and infrastructure aspects of your project, they have no interest in implementation issues you may face - your on your own with those."
