Filip,
OK. Now I'm confused.
Do you want Geronimo to accept a code donation? Or do you want to
start a new project in incubator? I thought it was the former (and
I'm pretty sure you do, too).
The process IIUC is roughly
1. Geronimo votes to accept the donation
2. The Geronimo project fills out some paperwork (update an html
page and fill out the IP Clearance form -- http://
incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html)
3. The Incubator PMC is notified of the donation and given 48
hours to raise any objections.
The Incubator is always involved for any large, existing, external
codebase, even if it is simply to check the IP clearance
issues. This is Filip's intent, afaik.
In which case there's no mentoring needed. The PMC needs to fill out
the form accurately, as in doing so, they will be reminded of (and
record the status of) all significant IP-related issues in accepting
the contribution.
