Well, Ivy is a subproject of Ant, so we can leave that out. I don't really see how Maven or Ant would fit if the only integration to their flagships is by spawning a new process (or maybe run the scripts in VM using Jython, I don't know). To me it sounds as if you are looking for a home for "a bunch of scripts we use around the release process". Something we don't really have, so a new TLP seems more appropriate - if we have and keep the momentum. This new TLP would likely be more focussed on users that are expected to use trunk versions of the scripts than to have releases - no realy end users at all, this is quite similar to Gump. I'm really mostly on the fence here and still have no clear understanding of where you want to take the "other scripts". But we certainly shouldn't be lingering around at the Incubator any longer.
