Thanks Roman. I agree that this project is in the correct state to qualify as a TLP, and would like to help move that forward.
In addition to the https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB/Graduation+Resolution that you mention, we also created a check list https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB/ASF+Maturity+Evaluation which aims to describe where the project stands according the the Apache project maturity model. I would encourage members of the Apache MADlib community to take a look at the check list and comment on any of the items there. The project mgmt part of the wiki https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB/Project+Management also gives a pretty good snapshot of the project as it stands today.
