[Incubator] Recommend pycsw Graduation

[Jody Garnett]

Thanks mentoring Jeff, it is great that pycsw is ready and it sounds like a
fun community.

I will look over the checklist / provenance review and get back to you with
any questions.

Aside: I see the project uses github wiki, you can start a line with "* (
)" and "* (x)" for check boxes :)
