I'll point out that there was a discussion around docker and podlings back over the summer, [1].
It appears that Greg is correct, it has not been presented to infra yet, but the IPMC has moved forward on a proposal which seemed to be to allow guacamole to publish as "apache/guacamole". I see no reason that "apache/singa" would be different. I would prefer that over you guys creating your own dockerhub account as well (note the cloudstack reference in the email...). I think that before the IPMC specifies a policy on docker hosting, the ASF in general has to have a policy on docker hosting. I can find no reference to one. If we find that there is something that needs to be tweaked from the policy, then it would be listed within the constraints section.
