"The Champion assists the candidate on their initial submission to a Sponsor."
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Champion
This is how the Champion role is defined. The "default" Sponsor is the
Apache Incubator - no big deal. The only thing a Champion does is to
look at the projects list and try to contact a project if it would
sponsor this new podling. Imho this should be discussed on the
general@ list, when a Draft proposal is there.

Confusion is in the eye of the beholder too.
I am not sure what is wrong with "make a draft proposal and ask for
help on general@" and why there must be a role for that.
But it seems I am the only one who does not see any sense in it, so I
shut up now.
If folks here want to keep the Champion for whatever reasons, I
suggest to update the description a little bit and be more concrete on
what is expected from a Champion and how one can find a Champion.
Cheers
Christian
