Just a small thought to consider during this discussion. You are talking about some major changes to the tooling and workflow typical of Apache communities. Wave is currently in the incubator, making it a probationary project.
I would say that the principal aim should be to understand the principles of the ASF, to demonstrate that understanding, and graduate from the incubator. Having done that, life will be easier when attempting such things as getting Wave enabled servers, engaging in PR, etc. Remember that graduation is based upon how the community operates, and has nothing to do with the quality, or otherwise, of the code-base. And the next big thing is getting that release out - proving that we understand how to correctly license(etc) our code. (We didn't actually get to the point of releasing, did we??)
