Well, do that and watch the entire PMC unsubscribe.

It is perfectly acceptable behaviour in a volunteer organisation. I
would not commit to read everything on the Incubator General list. I
simply cannot, and certainly cannot engage with or understand the wide
range of projects that are currently under incubation.

The ActiveMQ project could try to understand more what Leo's issues are,
or could try to seek additional PMC members' interest in the ActiveMQ
project, as onlookers or mentors. If they had three mentors, it would be
relatively easy to get the required three +1 votes from PMC members.
