Hello Jochen and Carsten, I have a different experience.
Ant has sponsored ivy, which is a relatively new project in the incubator. A project coming in to the incubator with a sponsoring project already in Apache-Land gets accepted nearly automatically. For ivy, the Ant PMC voted a resolution according to which Ant was sponsoring the incubation of Ivy. We decided if I remember properly that Ivy would be free after graduation from incubation to become its own TLP or to become a subproject of Ant. So probably it is OK to say that we would welcome sanselan as a sub project but not to say that sun or rain sanselan will become a commons subproject after graduation. Otherwise I looked at the web site of sanselan, this looks like an interesting development that we would like to have in Apache Land. Just my two cents.
