All donated code should really go through the Incubator, even if only to do the required IP checklist.

I presume this codebase is substantial enough that it requires incubation? Or because it was a single developer, could he contribute it directly to the Lucene project and bypass incubation?

I'd like to propose the Lucene4c project for incubation.
Lucene4c is a port of the Lucene search engine from Java to C, using the Apache Portable Runtime library for portability. The project is far from complete, and code to date is primarily concerned with reading an existing Lucene index, which must be created with another Lucene implementation (currently only Java Lucene has been tested). The plan is to complete support for the rest of the index format and then move on to implementing search functionality (beyond the current proof of concept code anyway). Once we've reached that point work will begin on actual indexing functionality so that Lucene4c can stand alone, without the use of another Lucene implementation for bootstrapping.
The project would be part of the new Lucene top leve project, and Erik Hatcher has offerred to serve as a sponsor.
While I have yet to expand the community of developers further than myself, I am anxious to do so, and I expect to be able to draw both from people as of yet unassociated with Lucene who have expressed interest in such a project and from existing Lucene developers who have expressed interest in establishing cross-language compatibility tests for the various Lucene ports.
Lucene4c already has ties to existing ASF projects, particularly Lucene itself and APR. Bringing it into the ASF would only strengthen those ties.
More details, including where to get the current release or development versions of the code can be found at the Lucene4c web site at http://electricjellyfish.net/garrett/lucene4c/
