Probably not what you had in mind, but adding the project to the gump run would be a start. All sorts of monitoring goes on then, including prompting from the gump-er (ie Sam) to fix things that break. I know Sam (et al) have + will provide patches to other projects to bring their build systems up to scratch. It's a start at having the external community work with the Jakarta community(/ies), which seems to be the primary concern. If the project won't deal with gump nags, and can't keep their builds from breaking then they probably won't fit into Jakarta.
