Agreed ... it was later linked to a posting there.

My understanding of the incubator process is that the Incubator PMC still
has to vote to accept a podling (see second paragraph under "Acceptance" at
[1]), and that the positive vote of the intended destination TLP (MyFaces in
this case) is a prerequisite.  Is that understanding correct?  If so, has
there ever been such a vote (my request to be added to the Incubator PMC,
due to being mentor for the ADF Faces contribution, will eventually let me
find that out for myself).  If an I-PMC vote is required and has not
occurred, can we please do so?

If a vote isn't required, I can just go ahead and start on the administrivia
required to set things up.
