Here is an alternative. Incubator remains the same. Add the following MLs in which IPMC members can participate. (1) intake - this is where interested parties submit requests and interested parties evaluate them. VOTE for new podlings can be here as now. (2) community - this is where mentoring help and questions can be directed. Help navigating infrastructure and community can be here. Graduation and shepherding can be here. VOTEs to graduate. (3) release - this is where release packaging, IP, Notice, and License can go here. VOTE from podlings needing extra IPMC can be here. (4) general - remains for full IPMC discussions and reporting. The three other lists are committees and report in to general with information about new podlings, community progress and IP/release progress. This will separate everything into different areas of IPMC specialization. Ideally every podling would have at least one "release" mentor and at least one "community" mentor active. We will solve for "noise". > > That way, people could participate in governance oversight and mentoring in > focus areas that they care about, and not have to immediately deal with the > many other podlings that are not related in terms of technology/interest > areas.

Or much quieter and inactive - like some podlings?
