At the start of the project's incubation, this can be set up quite informally by just deciding on a list of initial members. After the incubation is further along, a bit more formality is a good idea. At that point, have a vote, proclaim a result and be done. There is no firm line that determines

Ouch. The copyright in question was attached to code from the source code for mySQL. There is no way that code can be in an Apache project. Given the cut and paste history, it seems like it will require a very detailed audit of code history or web searches to find where the original code came fro
