The technical reason for "no solo projects" that already answer your question lies in the ASF governance model, which is based on meritocracy where all who participate in the project are expected to be part of its oversite (there is no allowance for a "BDFL" (Benevolent Dictator For Life) management model.
Every decision has to be (at least passively) agreed to by a minimum of three members of the project, and this particularly includes releases which must be actively approved by 3+ positive votes. Since a solo effort will not have the ability to perform a release, the ASF has no interest in creating stillborn communities-of-one. I hope this clarifies the earlier answers. But you certainly describe or point out the source code to the project you would like to incubate, and solicit additional contributors on either the general@incubator or the dev@community lists.
