Quite possibly. I don't think that has been separated out in our discussions before. Previously the two have been conflated (allow external committers and allow releases). It might be useful to explore these as separate issues. That means the due diligence (see Simone's email) issue it the big blocker. It's hard enough to get three binding +1s in the incubator, how hard would it be here where there is no community building? > Furthermore: > - labs can only become assimilated by existing projects.

This doesn't solve the other complaint about labs - no external committers. However, I'd like to see if others feel it is beneficial to separate out these two issues as you propose above.
