+1 (which means "me too" in this context :D)I am personally very interested in this, having worked on a similar project. In any case, it's a very interesting thing for Java in general to have such a component opensourced. Because of this, I will see to do all I can to help you.
Indeed, the proposal doesn't seem to be inline with the document in two ways. First, there is no active development community for it. Second, while the project was originally commercial in nature, we are no longer doing development on it as it currently suits our needs. That is not to say that we won't do bug fixes and other maintenance to it, but we just don't have any active development happening on it anymore.
I suggest you create a zip file/tarball with all the source code, the apache license in it (and as the header for all the sourcefiles)[1], and post this somewhere on your company website (don't need to publish the link). Next, we set up a sourceforge project, or better yet, just use an existing project there where the code fits (like www.krysalis.org) and have Nicola put the code up there.
We'll make a little noise around the OSS java community, see if this attracts some interest, if it has the potential of becoming a real project. If so, we'll start incubation.
Why not start incubation immediately? IMHO, we need to get a feel for the code and the people involved with the code first.
