Needless to say that I am highly supportive of this proposal, and I am willing to help in the process.
Following the incubator's doc [1], I would say that a good fit for a "Sponsor" would be Apache Ant. We shall vote if there is no prior objection. Then about Mentors and a Champion, I am not myself qualified, even if I am motivated.
