[Incubator] idea: combine project status and incubation checklist

[Paul Spencer]

Hi Jody,

I think originally the status template was intended to be used by the
mentor to report to committee periodically while the graduation checklist
was a final document to ensure everything was done before graduation.  I
think Arnulf is right, the two documents originally had separate purposes
but obviously they cover a lot of the same ground and I agree with your
proposal to combine them.

Cheers

Paul
