NA	If request from outside Apache to enter an existing Apache project, then post a message to that project for them to decide on acceptance.

Are there three or more independent committers?

Are project decisions being made in public by the committers? - Yes
Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers? - Yes
