The project is still quite young and has been primarily developed part time by myself and Sean Silva over the last ~2 months. We set it up following discussion of a Numpy/Scipy op set <https://llvm.discourse.group/t/numpy-scipy-op-set/768> and also in conjunction with a proving ground for high level dialects/transforms for lowering from "numpy-aligned" frontends (e.g. sometimes labeled TCF/TCP).

Awesome.

I'm happy to provide more information/discussion, but I'd also be happy if with just an LGTM and someone creating an "mlir-npcomp" repository under the LLVM GitHub organization and working the rest out as we go.

I feel like we have general consensus that something like an incubator process is a good idea, but I think we should converge on adding a new section to the LLVM Developer Policy that describe what an incubator project is, and outline the requirements (following the policy etc).

Could you help put together a draft of a patch?  If not, I can take a look at this this weekend.
