Great effort getting it all documented! Would really love to see this
converge ASAP.

This sentence is very confusing to me. If the release is "unofficial" then
it can't be
subject to ASF's policy, no?

I would also ask that if after a certain period of time the podling doesn't
respond to criticism -- IPMC reserves the right to ask INFRA to remove the
artifact.

I am actually not sure why we're including GitHub in this list. For all
practical purposes,
GitHub is a mirror of ASF git repo and as such doesn't warrant a dedicated
policy.

I'd like to see it removed.

It is unclear whether <project> should include incubator- prefix. I
honestly thing it should.

You don't have to had a Dockerfile to publish to Docker Hub. This sentence
makes it sound like it is a requirement.

This is a repeat of a "docker pull apache/<project>" should not install an
artefact containing unapproved code. statement.
