IMHO it depends on what the incubator PMC does. If they *do* create the lists and the such then maybe they should set policy (meaning telling other people what do do == policy). If they rely on the XML project and the XMLBeans folks to do things then they should allow the XML project and XMLBeans folks to set their own policy.

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.
