[Incubator] OSGeo Community Project XYZ/Mapp

[Jody Garnett]

Greg, you are very much welcome to take part, and thanks for helping with
community outreach :)

The "osgeo community" which xyz/Mapp is appling for is a bit more
light-weight than full "incubation" so it is enough to establish how
contributions are made rather than have a full track record.
