Hi Julian,
It sounds like proj4php has good foundations, and would be a candidate
for being an OSGeo project in a few years, but is still a bit young to
be ready for OSGeo Incubation.
I suggest a better checklist to look at is the OSGeo Graduation
Checklist. This is what you would be aiming for if you wished to
complete graduation.

Cheers, Cameron
