Hatching The Clutch - A Guide to the Apache Incubator
summary
Walks through how incubation is tracked and proposes concrete fixes: use clutch analysis plus Whimsy and the LDAP JSON to verify committers, require three mentors for release votes, and add canonical download URLs to podling status. Recommends moving XML/status files into git, convert status files to YAML/Markdown and render via ASF Pelican, so the clutch page becomes machine-readable. Notes many podlings rarely update status files and few record new committers, so the changes aim to make infra-driven checks reliable.
