"Migrate the project to our infrastructure." is an exit criteria to the incubator. There are several reasons that your suggestion is not possible. One is project oversight, then there might be trademarking issues etc as well. See: "Apache projects must host all official website content on an apache.org domain. " http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs.html This is true for any other content of apache projects, including sourcecode. In short, it is not possible. Cheers Christian
