Gentlemen, I want to propose to have a timeout in this thread. I am geographically close to Gridgain - literally about 25 minutes drive - so I will go there in person and will try to cross the T's and clarify any issues they might have about the Apache's incubation requirements and why mentors are asking for certain things to be done.
Let's chill out and take a couple days off on this issue. In the meanwhile, we have a great progress with the release so let's finish that one.
