I would like to bring this question up again. BLOCKER. The http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html document states that
<quote> *Note:* the grant form *must* be acknowledged before continuing. If the source is referenced by checksum in the grant, commit the canonical tarball for the donated code into the incubator drop area (/repos/asf/incubator/donations) together with a checksum and a detached signature. This will ensure that apache has a legal record of the grant. </quote> which means that no one can complete this, without the "drop area", unless there is a new process and this document is out of date.
