Hi, The normal process is first voting here on the dev list and getting 3 +1 votes from your PPMC, then asking the wider incubator to vote on general@. It's nice if your mentors vote (as they are IPMC members) but that's not required. [1]
I noticed you mentioned this in your incubator report, but I think there may be a misunderstanding how the process works. Thanks, Justin 1. https://incubator.apache.org/policy/incubation.html#releases
