If, for example, the board privately negotatied the movement of a
project from it's old home, after it privately appealed to the ASF for
consideration in the incubator.

This would be a very rare, very exceptional occurance.

Also, perhaps the president has a project for the ASF's own
infrastructure under his jurisdiction, and decides that it should be
a project rather than an infrastructure effort.

Mostly, it's a project with a related interest, or defaults to
infrastructure's pmc if not.
