I believe you should go ahead with a new proposal (wiki would be best with
a link to general@)... this bit has no licensing concerns, so it would be
on the fast track to becoming part of another existing project or a new
project in its own right.
I'd suggest you invite the dev@ lists of tika/poi to participate in the
discussion here at general and join this incubation project if they are
interested. With very few concerns the entire process should be very fast
and I would not weigh it down with the complexities of the OOo proposal
which may take longer to sort out.
