What do you mean by plugin? Do you mean xwiki plugin (probably not)?

You need to find out and propose how to integrate the import feature  
into xwiki both in term of UI and in term of code. The best right now  
is probably to add a button in the tiny MCE editor.

I think we can do it in 2 steps:
Step 1: get clean HTML. Since XWiki is able to display HTML it should  
work fine. This also means that the imported doc will be edited  
through the WYSIWYG editor (tinyMCE)
Step 2: convert the HTML into wiki syntax wherever possible. This is  
indeed a job for the new rendering module and you'll need to write an  
HTML Parser (i.e. implementing the org.xwiki.rendernig.Parser  
interface). You should have a look at the 2 existing parsers:  
WikiModelXWikiParser and DoxiaConfluenceParser. In this case though  
you should use an XML parser to parse the XHTML instead of wiki model  
or doxia. Thus it's important that in step 1 you get clean XHTML  
(probably run JTidy on it).

You need to follow all the coding conventions and best practices  
described at dev.xwiki.org
You need to provide a maven build yes. Plenty of examples in the xwiki  
source tree.
The best is maybe that you package your code as a xwiki plugin for  
now. check xwiki-platform-plugins for examples of plugin and how they  
are packaged/built.
