Could you use me ("Sutou Kouhei") like
https://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/arrow-julia-library2.html
?

Before.

Yes.

Hmm. I'm not sure... I think that Software Grant isn't
needed if you use Individual CLA:
https://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html

I think that I used only Individual CLA when I donated the
Ruby bindings...: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/1990
Could you also check contributions from others? It seems
that there are some contributors:
$ git shortlog -sn --group=author --group=trailer:co-authored-by | cat
54 Benjamin Philip
2 José Valim
1 Matthew Pope
1 Paulo Valente
1 Tristan Sloughter
If there are contributors who contributed some non trivial
changes, they also need to sign Individual CLA.
FYI: Here is the log for this process of Apache Arrow Julia:
https://github.com/apache/arrow-julia/issues/265
Thanks,
