Folks,
Right now any PMC can automatically ok projects into incubator. How
about we change that rule? So that the only pmc that can approve a
proposal is the incubator PMC.

I also agree, after some thought.
Without putting too much thought into my response I think that the
Incubator PMC wields enough control given that they have the final
say on Incubation graduation.
Having a no vote in what enters the incubator, but only on what
leaves:
1) sets up the folks doing the work for burnout due to the possibly
large numbers of projects in at any one time. Controlling
throughput is important.
My so-called "Denial of Service Attack" on the Incubator :)
2) sets up a larger number of projects for failure. If there is
(hypothetically) some compelling reason that a project isn't going
to be graduated, then isn't it better to be able to say that at the
start, rather than waiting for a certain number of hoops to be
jumped through?
Yes, but we can't think of incubation failure as "failure" - that's
actually a successful outcome for the incubator, as it's doing its
job in that case. Not everyone will want to work our way, not every
project will catch a diverse community interest, etc. I'd prefer we
call it something else - like "retired from incubation" or
something. A job a long time ago taught me very well that you
should never be afraid to fail if you go at things with good
intentions and good effort.

Yes, absolutely, I believe the incubator should have a vote up
front to approve what enters the incubator.
