I agree, and with one or more committers, Labs is open for business.
Now, it could be that the non-ASFers will be major contributors in
non-bulk manner (i.e. patches are too burdensome), in which case I
don't think we have a solution here and I would suggest Google Code,
GitHub or SourceForge as the bootstrapping hosting solution.
I think that is very sad. Our goal is to grow communities that develop
software using "the Apache way". Sending them somewhere else so they
can come back later when they are a bit more mature is a great way to
get them to never come back.
A solution to this is for Noah to create 4 or 5 bogus bits of code and
call that the original code base to start from.
