+1 Any ASF committer is welcome to propose a new sandbox component and we have traditionally had a very low bar for experimenting in the sandbox - i.e., JFDI. Getting out the sandbox, however, requires that enough of a community has developed around the component that we are confident that it will not die / become a burden to us / disappointment to users. Like the rest of the ASF, we make no claims to "the one true way" or "the definitive foo-thing" for any of our components. All that we require is that there is enough community interest in "commons-foo" to grow and sustain a community around it.
