Patch below. I will commit unless someone objects.
For what it's worth, the only passage I could find on the website describing
the process of joining the IPMC was in the Glossary of the Mentor guide:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#who-ipmc
IPMC Member
All activities of incubated projects are supervised by the Incubator
Project Management Committee, or IPMC. Releases and new committers of
incubated projects must be approved by vote of the IPMC. Incubated project
mentors must be IPMC members. Any member of the Apache Software Foundation
may join the IPMC by request. The committee may also grant membership to
others by vote; typically, this allows a PMC member of some other project
to serve as a mentor.
I'm tempted to strike that passage as it will now be redundant and we have too
much "glossary" stuff on the website IMO.
