For small projects, I wouldn't go through the incubator if they ultimatley should end up at commons anyway.
You can send a [PRPOSAL] mail to this list, describing the project you have in mind. - what can your project do? - what is the value of the project? - how das it relate to other projects within and outside the ASF (in your case: why would I use your project instead of for example using spring beans with scope prototype?) - what are the use cases you're trying to address? Make the code available (github/googlecode) and convince others, that your library is useful. Provide some examples, so people get an understanding of how the parts play together. If you can convince people from your idea, the code can move to commons sandbox.
