1. The “incubating” term has special meaning per EDP. A mature project cannot have incubating code in its source repository. That doesn’t mean that you couldn’t use a different term… alpha, beta, etc.
You're right, in that case, we should talk about "Experimental" plugins (Bower) for a mature project (JSDT)
Correct

2. If this code is merged into JSDT source repo, it and all of its dependencies must be able to pass the IP review before JSDT 3.7 can release. The IP review covers the entire source repo, even if a certain piece isn’t being released.

I assumed there were already IP approval for Bower, maybe I'm wrong. If not, then I understand that it's currently a blocker for merging in JSDT, and opening CQs should be top-priority.
All the dependencies are existing Eclipse project (JGit is the main one). The code itself (initial one) has passed the IP approval: https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9173
But as we're still modifying it, it looks like we have to get another approval on it before merging it into a release stream.

3. Only a project can have releases. There is no formal notion of a component and you cannot have informal components making releases, so no Bower IDE 0.1 release, for instance. That doesn’t mean that you couldn’t exclude some functionality that’s in the source repo from a JSDT release or deliver different pieces of a JSDT release in different p2 repositories.

As far as I know, there is no plan to release Bower integration separately from JSDT. @Victor: is there?
I don't have such plans.
