I'm assuming other things would exist. A project must have a
PROPOSAL.html. A project must maintain a STATUS.html. A release must have
a release manager.

That's all that springs to mind, would hope it's documented at J-C
somewhere :)

Sounds good. You'd have far more effort trying to convince the
maven/centipede/ant fans to settle on one tool. So the tool aspect is
something J-C wouldn't be able to demand, so seems unlikely that A-C would
be able to.
