[DISCUSS] Publish Apache Clerezza RDF library as Apache Commons RDF(was: Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache Commons grants write access to all ASF committers)

We had a similar proposal a while ago [1]. Is the Clerezza RDF library
related to this proposal? In the end the people around
https://github.com/commons-rdf/commons-rdf decided not to bring their code
to Apache Commons, because they wanted to use github for development and
discussions. They already requested the commons-rdf git repository from
infra, which is now unused [2]. So if you want to bring your RDF library to
commons, we can use that repo, I guess... I can help you with bootstraping
the component and bring up a website.
