Excellent! As usual I was confused and those replying on the
incubator list would only make things worse. I haven't seen any two
people who would fully agree on the procedure, and got stuck looking
for Champion, doh! :-) If no more voting is needed inside the
Incubator, the next thing we need is Subversion space for the project
and accounts for everyone listed as committers.

Ok, SVN it is then.

Makes sense. Once we get accounts setup, lets get back to it and
designate a freeze date.
Another consideration is that we need to keep 1.2 release in the
"org.objectstyle.cayenne" namespace and move to org.apache.cayenne in
2.0. Do you think we'll be able to make releases while in the
Incubator as "org.objectstyle.cayenne"? Otherwise it maybe too early
to branch now. Still, we can move the JPA stuff to Apache immediately.
