AFAIU it is not that important that your release process needs some

True. But I still would prefer to have a more mature release process in
the project before moving forward.
Could you say why being in the incubator is helpful for that? It's
something the community has to work on regardless. If the incubator is
adding something, then great, otherwise it's just overhead on the PPMC.
It's not required but often at least one ASF member stays with a new TLP
for a while to keep in contact; as the project chair has access to
Apache systems (=> edit the right SVN file!) it's not necessary.
Editing the system-wide auth file for the first time is an experience :-)
Maybe you need to start reporting in board style.

I would say that the Marmotta PPMC has demonstrated that they have
adopted the ASF way of doing open source. The processes are
established.
Thanks; in that our excellent mentors are largely responsible ;-)
I am okay if you would like to do one more release but I think after
that we should definitely go for graduation ;)
I agree, that could be a good option. Let see when do we manage to do it...
The large pile of legal is done once.
So it's a matter of dealing with what's new from last release.
BTW, just an informative reference, looks that IPMC has the checkpoint
in one year in incubation:
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OlderPodlingsWithARelease
Not a checkpoint as such - as the top sentence suggests, having done the
process-necessary steps at one year the question is why have they not
graduated.
There is a major push in the incubator to get the process speeded up -
you can expect the "graduate now?" question to start coming in.
Something for the next report in July.
