the right place to ask this question is infrastructure (possibly after 
talking to the folks on general at incubator) but i'll try to give some 
general pointers

AIUI

the ASF's primary concerns are security and legal oversight. secondary 
concerns are that there's only limited bandwidth available for hosting 
the ASF and only a limited number of ASF machines available. (ASF 
machines need to be administered by a member of the infrastructure 
team.)

i don't think that there should be concerns about legal oversight or 
bandwidth. security concerns prevent the serving of (nearly all) 
dynamic content from the core infrastructure machines. but the ASF has 
more machines available now (than it used to) so there may well be 
suitable machines available. in which case, there's a good chance that 
it'd be approved.

but, you'll need to ask on infrastructure since i'm no longer 
subscribed there and my information's probably stable by now. it'd 
probably be best to create the application first (since there's always 
the possibility of hosting it on an arms-length machine if there is 
some reason why no ASF machine is available.)
