Yoav You find the mentor here by sending the note - just as you did.
Let me make some comments. Firstly - Apache is about openness - so I encourage you to start to tell us why this framework is better and why we should be interested in it. Secondly, the maturity of the project is not always a good thing from the perspective of the incubator. The aim of the incubator is twofold. One is to solve the IP issues around donated code. In your case, if you are the sole author that will be quite smooth. The second issue is to build a community of committers and developers who will ensure that the project is healthy and vital. The problem is that if the project is "done" then it can be hard to encourage involvement. Developers like to have meaty tasks they can get involved with. As regards the XML project, that may be a good home for this, or you may wish to eventually target a separate project. Without more details about this code its hard to know what is appropriate.
