how do you find a Champion?

According to <http://incubator.apache.org/guides/proposal.html#template-champion>,
"a Champion should be found before the proposal is formally
submitted."  My question is...  how do you find one?  Is emailing
general@incubator.apache.org, saying "hi - I'm looking for a Champion
for <URL>" sufficient?

You could also ask yourself, "Who else in the ASF family would be
interested in this technology? Which Apache project are we the most
associated with?" and then go to their dev@ list and ask there, or if
you are too shy ask one of the community members directly, such as the
PMC Chair, with the risk of him (her?) becoming annoyed. ;-)

Depends on whether it works! But yes, asking on general@ is the right
place to ask, as I would expect many/most of the folks who would be in a
position to act as champions/mentors to be hanging out there.
