[Incubator] community projects and benevolent dictator model

[Jody Garnett]

Just as a point of reference the GeoWebCache project (one of our community
projects) operates as a benevolent dictator model (or perhaps more
accurately a steering committee of one since the project is small).

This has left us in an odd spot since Kevin Smith is out of commission for
a couple of weeks:
- Leaving us to scramble for a GWC release to include in GeoServer 2.9
- Leaving us with nobody in position to enable wiki read/write (for a
proposal change)

It should be noted that GeoWebCache is a respected and stable piece of
software with a larger user base (due to it being embedded in GeoServer and
GeoNode). It is making no effort to go through OSGeo incubation as the
developer community is too small at this time.
