I am really confused by the reaction to this. I don't see any reason to
be puzzled or upset. I don't want to make this a bigger issue than it
is, but:
1. The project is incubating and this is the first time its done an
Apache release. There are a lot of check boxes that need to be checked
to make Apache happy. Overlooking a NOTICE file that almost no one looks
at doesn't seem like that big of a jump to me. With an M1 release, I
think everyone was a bit more worried whether the damn thing worked at
all. As we move toward a .0 release things will certainly get more
cleaned up.
2. Incubating release don't need to conform to Apache policy as far as I
understand it. Only to whats outlined in the release section [1]. Thats
why Roller can release with LGPL dependencies. So in this light, the
NOTICE file shouldn't be a hold up, no? Only -incubator instead of
-incubating can.
And, at the risk of being hypocrytical here, can we keep commentary to a
minimum? -1, +1, suggestions, and informing that requirements aren't met
is great, but there doesn't seem to be a need to stir things up with how
you feel a particular project is doing its job.

Bill Stoddard is correct in his understanding of
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases. The
fact that other people have voted +1 without verifying that the release
adheres to Incubator policy is a bit disturbing, but that's why we have
multiple sets of eyes on these things.
More than a bit, if you ask me. People even asking for a vote for a release
without a NOTICE file is like, seriously messed up. What is going on around
here lately?
