I would suggest that you make a quick review of the code on Github while I'm reading some ASF documents about committers. If we are both ok (you with the code, me with my obligations), then we can start the all process.
I can find some time before the end of this week and review the documents. Can you start reviewing the code on Githud and make sure there is no obvious issue with the contribution?
