I believe that there is a software donation "grant" document for this, but I'm not the guy to ask abot it.

If you haven't read it, read this first http://jakarta.apache.org/site/newproject.html I guess you have because you're proposing commons which we might assume to have a lower bar. However I'd also advise you seriously to consider incubator.apache.org, ws.apache.org or xml.apache.org, simply because I believe that they may be a more appropriate home.
Things involving a software grant need to involve the incubator. This is not a destination in itself, merely the point of entry.
