(during creation, releases, periodically)? It's up to the community, on both sides. From my read, Extras was created as a forum to have an "association" with the ASF stronger than simply putting something at Google Code or Github. These are projects that may not be compatible with the ALv2, but that involve PMC members or community members from their parent ASF projects. I don't think there are requirements beyond that, per se. > > 3) Is there any minimum number or commiter/PMC members from the community be > involved in the extras project to show affiliation?

See above, I don't think there are any minimums.
