I don't have any skin in this game. Yet I am baffled about where this work is going on and what Apache Project it relates to. Is there an incubator proposal for Apache DocFormats on its way?
In particular, I would expect that some thought would be given to the ODF Toolkit and that incubator project, <http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/>. Also, Apache POI would seem to have some relevance, especially the OpenXML4J component, <http://poi.apache.org/>. These are all Java based, as is Armin's current project in the AOO repository. I haven't listed open-source projects outside the embrace of ASF. A single <orcnote> remark is in-line below (although this notation may derail defective HTML presentation of plaintext containing angle brackets). Re-subscribing to general-incubator now ...

If you fix a bug we have a 1-1 relation (1 man used, 1 bug fixed) If you start getting the documentation right we have a 1-n relations (1 man used, n men help fix bugs). Please have in mind, we build a community in order to move away from "I have to do it, because I am the only one who know how" and you are the most important enabler of that......we need your knowledge in a file, so that others can work. [ ... ] When the project (hopefully) enters incubator, we will automatically have access to a bug tracking system (jira), and with that hopefully only being some month away I would not recommend setting up one now. <orcnote> On Github, there is already an issues structure, <https://github.com/uxproductivity/DocFormats/issues>. I think this should be continued in use until a different setup arrives "any day soon". Note that some Github projects create a single subrepository that is just for its issues function.
