Based on what I know of OGNL, it is/was reasonably well used. Trying to merge it into another project doesn't help those existing users.
The question is what are the author(s) of OGNL looking for? A home for maintainance? The Apache brand? To reinvigorate it? The latter fits with a merger into other projects. The former should make commons ask if it wants to become a home for maintainance mode (not necessarily a bad thing). I'm certainly arguing against a straight push into BeanUtils or JEXL.
