But one could simply release the fixed version of jmimemagic "outside"
of commons. So there would be no problem, would it?
At least until the original author gives it's ok to "commonize" it.

That's not possible. Since JMimeMagic is LGPL, any modifications must
result in a library that is also LGPL. As part of the ASF, all Commons
components must have the Apache License.
I do think something along the same lines as JMimeMagic would make a good
Commons component (unless we already have one lurking somewhere that I'm not
aware of). If someone happens to know either of the authors and would like
to open a dialogue with them about either changing the license or possibly
coming to the ASF, I think that would be worthwhile.
