Bruce, While Willem and Luke are both foundation members, neither is on the IPMC. That's easy enough to rectify if you can get them to send appropriate emails out requesting membership.
I'm assuming the mailing lists will all be in the new format of list@rocketmq.i.a.o The RocketMQ github site mentions "Alibaba's MQ, also aliyun ONS. http://www.aliyun.com/product/ons"; Can you explain the relationship to Aliyun ONS? (the link is dead) I notice that the revision history is pretty sparse. I'm assuming that it was mostly maintained internal and not fully open sourced until recently? I notice in the proposal that its mentioned RocketMQ doesn't integration with existing Apache projects - but it currently declares dependencies on Commons IO, CLI, Derby to name a few. The only license that sticks out is JNA, which itself has a weird licensing scheme. Not a blocker for incubation, but may require some trickery at release time.
