I wholly disagree with you.

I raised this issue months ago, and we actually had some discussions about it. Most folks in the community agreed that the remaining item to check off was the licensing issues. http://s.apache.org/a08 Months is not a rush. Go read the Lucy reports: the project has been in Incubation since July 2010: so it's been about 1 year, 3 months. Every project has a different amount of time in Incubation and every project has a checklist of things to get done before graduating. I think we've met that checklist.
