Indeed, the Commons charter says you're welcome :-)

Procedurally, its nice to start with a [proposal] thread, in the
format specified by the "Example Package Proposal" section of the
charter [1], and obtain feedback from existing Commons committers.

If the code was *not* developed in the ASF repository, you will have
to incubate [2] it first. Someone with more incubator-related
experience will probably clarify once the details are posted in the
proposal.
