It is slightly more subtle than that. Whilst the voting documentation states that only committers/PMC can vote - it really means that they have binding votes (so if we had lots of +1 from the community, but a PMC voted -1, their vote would 'override' the community votes). However having lots of community votes is a good sign to the incubator - since it shows that the project's community is active - and it is even plausible that the community might find things that we don't (due to trying the release in lots of different ways). If you can only review part, that is still fine. Place your vote and simply state that you were only able to review the UX. Does this clarify it a bit? (I agree that perhaps I hadn't been clear in the past) Ali
