In the wicket case, which pretty much fits the profile of your first
question: release old code base artifacts outside of Apache using the
old, existing infrastructure (i.e. sf.net), make sure your user
community knows about the incubation process. I think JRoller those
the same.

And of course graduate. This can only be done by building a 'legal'
only release, which is currently under way for Wicket, and show
through that process that the developer community functions according
to the Apache standards. From what I have learnt perusing the
incubator list, succesfully getting a release through the IPMC is the
ticket out :-)
