Are you all familiar with the expression, 'excessive fascination with the Apache brand?' Here I am expressing the exact opposite. If there are people out there reading this who have a potential use for this thing, I encourage them to kick its tires. If that leads to some enthusiasm, I'm willing to do the work to make it into a contribution. I am not trying to persuade the commons PMC to accept it just on my say-so. You will find that the API is within a tiny amount of code of being facaded to match the JRE API, but, as noted, the language differences amongst the various libraries make this of questionable value. Mapping between then is far from easy -- unless you want to start from this code, and then write an NFA->regex converter for the various syntaces!
