Hi Sasa, I'm following apache.incubator not very closely but looking at "http://incubator.apache.org/guides/proposal.html#template-ip"; you need a CLA for all contributions (and probable patches). And this seems difficult for a mature project where many people contributed stuff under LGPL - but a lot of folks here are more fluent with the intellectual property legalese.
