What actually does a Champion do? Docs say he helps with finding a sponsor... A project can put the name "Incubator" as a sponsor as you said and see what happens. If somebody thinks on general@ a project fits perfectly to another one, then he probably says it. Therefore I really don't see the need for a role like a champion. If you ask me, I would delete the whole champion thing from the docs and rephrase the link I sent to: ask an existing project to sponsor you or put incubator into the sponsoring section.
