Now Martin's answer becomes very apt - something to sell across the ASF
and there will be push back. ie) Good luck.
However, I think it's not a bad idea. commons.apache.org as a Federation
for the various Commons projects around the ASF - even if I am suggesting
that J-C and J should start to merge into each other. Assuming I'm
understanding what you mean by virtual front.
The idea of a top level Commons is too much a disjoint umbrella. It
doesn't fit into the ASF; but the idea of a federation linking the various
Commons-like bits together does.
Slightly OT, we had someone email the J-C list very recently about a .Net
commons, but he's really talking about a semi-automated translation of J-C
to .Net. Those J-C libraries may not make entire sense on a new platform.

Hmmm. Can we remove the useless blurb at the top and just have
commons.a.o rechartered to be a virtual front for commons.*.a.o?

A link from commons.apache.org to Jakarta Commons, XML Commons and WS Commons
seems pretty fair.

I know Jakarta Commons isn't a TLP but considering the

Jakarta Commons.
You'd have to sell this idea across the ASF, not just at Jakarta, and
you'll
likely get more than a little push back. That space was also the realm of
Apache Commons when it existed.

It's the convention that you use your domain as your package. The
Jakarta Commons code is in the package org.apache.commons, not
org.apache.jakarta.commons. Also a number of times I've seen s stack
trace and simply reveresed the package name parts and pasted it into a
browser in an attempt to find out more about the code.
I'm thinking a blurb at the bottom to the effect of:
<hr/>
If you came here looking for Java code in the org.apache.commons
packages then go see the <a
href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/";>Apache Jakarta Commons</a>
page.
