i think that this approach would require a shadow web for incubator keys
suppose:
alice is an apache committer
alice has key K which is commented "APACHE CODE SIGNING KEY"
alice is elected release manager for incubator podling P
alice would need to create a new key S which is commented "INCUBATOR
RELEASES ONLY"
alice adds S to an incubator KEYS document
then alice should ensure that S (not K) is the only key used to sign
the release for P
