Hi Henri, Thanks for the interest for moving EasyMock to be in Apache incubator.
All projects coming in incubator should not stay longer than it needs to be. The main purpose of a project to be in incubator is to help new people coming to Apache to learn to develop in the Apache Way [1]. This includes building community in open and collaborative ways, understanding how to make releases, and also proper governancne conflict resolution among contributors in a project. So, you should not worry too much about having the project to be in incubator forever.
