I think this is a great idea, particularly if we can get the committers
of EasyAnt interested in improving Ant and Ivy.
+1.
Would it be worthwhile to consider all the committers on EasyAnt as
committers on Ant if this is adopted? As I recall, that is what happened
with Ivy.

I kind of misunderstood the "sponsoring". I was thinking that it was implying
that EasyAnt will become part of the Ant project. It doesn't bylaw. We just cleared it
out with the EasyAnt community. So let's clear it out with this vote for the Ant PMC.
I also thought that EasyAnt should have a classical incubation period, doing
release and growing a community. But it has no sense since if EasyAnt is
accepted as a subproject of Ant, the Ant PMC will be responsible for EasyAnt
code and releases.
So if we accept EasyAnt, the code will be imported, committers added. But
releases should be voted by us. I'm the only active EasyAnt committer which is
also an Ant PMC member. This means that other Ant PMC member should be involved
so that things can roll. We have been managing that with Ivy and IvyDE, but
this is something that should have in mind while voting. Also note that it
would somehow resolve itself it some EasyAnt developer become part of the Ant
PMC, some of them have already wrote some nice patches on Ant and Ivy :)
So, should we accept EasyAnt as a subproject ?
