Hi James, thanks for your interest. For what it's worth, there's no reason you couldn't help out a podling without being a Mentor. And the process for non-ASF-Members joining the Incubator PMC is actually the same as for any other Apache PMC -- someone earns merit and then is invited to join. Regardless of what happens in this specific case, if people are going to initiate direct requests like this, I wish they would use the private list. Every once in a while somebody who has not earned merit makes a request to join a PMC; it is awkward to rebuff such requests discreetly when the request is public. Apache private lists are not supposed to be used a lot, but personnel discussions are one of the main reasons we have them.
