As with all of their projects.
With a project of this size, scope, and adoption, I'd imagine the "acceptance" will be somewhat rubber stamped, and the process will focus on setting up the proper ASF development environment, review of existing code, etc.
I think a lot of people are looking for drama where none exists; ASF is just following the same procedures that EVERY project would be forced to go through.
