[llvm-dev] LLVM Incubator + new projects draft

[Philip Reames via llvm-dev]

This looks to be a reasonable starting point.

A couple of nit picks, none are blockers.

 1. I'd hold off on handing out the sub-domain for the moment. This
    feels more official than we probably want for a random incubator.  I
    reserve the right to change my mind here, but maybe we should delay
    this part until we see what actual incubators look like?  As an
    alternative, maybe have a common incubator.llvm.org page which links
    to the docs defining the process and lists all active incubators
    with links to docs in their own repo?
 2. The must/should terminology should probably be factored out once and
    referenced.  As written, it takes a little effort to be sure the
    definitions are the same between the two uses.
 3. I'm not sure I agree with the no-code standard.  I agree with
    minimal code, but I think an incubator should be established enough
    to be discussed concretely (e.g. "what is" vs "ideals").
 4. As I mentioned before, I'd advocate for the notion of a sponsor (an
    existing LLVM contributor) for each incubator.  I'd have that a must
    on the incubator list.
