Which is one of the things I'm having problems grappling with at the 
moment.  Exactly what are the responsibilities of the various parties in 
this process?

Incubator PMC?
Incubator team? (Is there such a thing?)
Sponsoring Project PMC?
Shepherd?
New project?
Tell me what I need to do, and I'll do it.  It's extremely frustrating 
to be in a situation where there is no clear direction, except to be 
told what you can't do when it's suggested.

To be fair - that's a little heavy handed, particularly coming from an 
interested bystander.  But (as Aaron notes in a later e-mail) this is a 
fairly trivial thing.  If getting something trivial sorted out is this 
difficult, it doesn't do much for one's confidence.

+1. (I am not PMC though ;-)

Moving Mailing List Address requires a lot of *energy*.
(as well as CVS, ML-Archive, Annoucements, etc.)

I can easily show you all up some examples of jakarta.
OJB and Torque were all listed as previous addresses, before
I performed surgery on jakarta-site2/xdocs/site/mail2.xml
in this month.
Poor, miserable newbies might wander off in Jakarta desert...
I can imagine easily ;-)

I am frutrated too, but I'm not ranting. Sorry, but it does not help 
anyone to start ranting. You know how much time sometimes is needed to 
take decisions in project, and the Incubator is a project itself.

It's simple:

The Incubator PMC is responsible for the project. All others (can) help.

Tell me what I need to do, and I'll do it.  
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator/STATUS?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

I'll try to update the site docs ASAP.

Please be patient, we need help.

No this is difference than in the past.  Remember the Incubator is here to
help and its OUR responsibility to incubate?  Its sounding like the
incubator stands over and tells folks what to do not only in helpful ways
but in details too.

Responsible means responsible, nothing less, nothing more.
Don't confuse responsibility with micro-management.

I'm 0 on both suggestions.  Go with this one for now*.  And lets not
delay kicking off a project for this for too long.

Is someone already preparing account requests, mailinglist requests,
cvs module requests etc, for the Infrastructure team to handle?

I am not a committer of the xmlbeans project, however,
I am willing to volunteer the remote moderation of mailing lists.

Okay, I'm fine with this for now, but without an explicitly stated 
policy this discussion will come up every time a project arrives at the 
incubator. We definitely need a policy here, IMHO!

Ted already requested the creation of the relevant mailing lists and 
CVS modules and exactly this request brought up this discussion another 
time :) see below...

There is no difference at all. The Incubator is like every other 
project:

PMC => oversight and responsibility (long term direction)
Contributors/Comitterhship => help, day-to-day work and ideas
;-)

I agree.  I just didn't want it to be the bottleneck.

Ah, dear root and all ;).

It may be wise to reissue the request, this time to infrastructure@,
with the appropiate CC's, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], as before.  There's
only a handful of roots, and only a subset of those have a black belt
in ezmlm-fu.  infrastructure@ reaches a slightly wider audience
improving the chances of swift handling of the request.
