This first sentence bothers me. Why do you want to do this, in
preference to, for example, creating a project at Google Code? And
what does it mean to you to "publish" at the ASF given that Labs
cannot have releases? In short, what would be the real motivation in
bringing the code to the ASF, and bringing it here now?

That does not sound appropriate to me. If the code is not yours, and
you would just be committing someone else's code and changes for them,
then the ASF as a whole is not appropriate, let alone Labs.

Honestly, Google Code seems like a better fit from what you have
described. Neither the ASF in general, nor Labs in particular, seem
appropriate.
