Is there some more background available on why the barrier is set this low in the incubator? It seems unnatural to me. A large part of incubation of course is to attract new committers, but why not let the podling decide on which barrier it wants to use? I'd expect apache committers or members that are interested in a podling's product will express that by joining with code and/or documentation improvements, and as a result get voted in as committers just like anyone else. In fact, the Incubation Policy says about mentors (section Committers at the bottom of [1]): "On acceptance of a candidate project, the assigned Mentors shall be given access to the Podling's repository for the duration of the incubation process. [...] To be given full committer privileges, such as the right to add new code to the repository, the Mentor must earn them as would any other potential new committer." I'm not specifically against it, I just like to understand why this is a good idea.
