Depending on how far along you already are with the code, it might be better to start as a contrib now. (Presuming the PMC would be in favor of it.) Once substantial development has happened*, getting the code brought in as a contrib will require going through the ASF IP Clearance process[1]. It's certainly doable, but will take time.
