HI,

That is fairly well documented and these issues consistently get -1 in release 
votes, they are (off the top of my head):
- Missing incubating from name
- Signatures or hashes not correct
- Missing DISCLAIMER
- Missing Apache LICENSE or NOTICE
- Including Category X code or Category B code
- Dependancy on Category X code
- Including compiled code in a source release
- Include code or assets you don’t have permission to distribute
- Artefacts need to be in the right place

And probably a couple of other very rare things, like including cryptography 
code or PPMC vote issues. Other IPMC members lists may be a little different, 
and in one or two cases it may depend on the exact situation, but it’s 
generally consistent. See also the talks and other materials mentioned 
previously on this list, as they go into more detail about this.

All except two of these are from the release and distribution policies not set 
by the incubator. All the incubator asks on top of those is add a DISCLAIMER, 
put incubating in name and an IPMC vote.

If you think it helps I’ll put that list  together on the site or wiki.

All other issues, but the expectation historical has been that they are 
generally fixed in the next release, not just before graduation. It’s important 
to show progress.

Thanks,
