[Incubator] Recommend pycsw Graduation

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Angelos,
I'd suggest that it is ok to have outstanding issues with the provenance 
review, so long as each issue has an acceptable workaround.
Eg: if there is a conflict with a license of an included library, then 
the work around could be to download the library separately.
There should also be a statement about what the project plans are around 
the issue. Maybe you are planning to rewrite the library, or maybe you 
are approaching the library authors to get access to the code under 
another license.

Thanks for addressing the other issues.
