The Ruby work may be from scratch, I don't know. But the project to incubate, the project we've been talking about for a while now, SWIGLucene-unless-we-come-up-with-a-better-name, would include PyLucene, not from scratch, RubyLucene, and maybe others.
Attached is a message I sent earlier summarizing the incubation process as I know it from Nutch.

Also, must the Highlighter and the Snowball go through voting, and incubation first too?
I think these should all be a part of the Lucene.Net sub-project, so they should go through incubation alongside the other stuff.
Sorry I've not been more helpful in navigating the incubator shoals. I found the process confusing for Nutch. The best description is in:
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Process_Description.html
The key steps, as I recall were:
1. Put a proposal on the wiki:
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/NutchProposal
2. Join [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3. Send the proposal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
http://www.mail-archive.com/general@incubator.apache.org/msg04104.html
4. Give time for discussion, then call a vote:
http://www.mail-archive.com/general@incubator.apache.org/msg04201.html
5. If the vote passes, make an infrastructure request to be added to the Incubator PMC. (I've attached this message.) This should give you incubator karma, so that you can make incubator site changes.
6. Once you're on the PMC, Add a status page to the incubator website:
The template is:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/site-author/projects/incubation-status-template.html
Add your page in this same directory. Also add a link to your status page in:
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html
To update the site:
http://incubator.apache.org/howtoparticipate.html#Updating+the+site
7. Then, once your committers all have CLAs filed, make infrastructure requests to have committer accounts created, the subverison repository setup with your committers on the ACL, mailing lists, JIRA, etc.
8. Upload your code. Apache will not import your CVS history. Just add the current version of each file.
9. Build your website in svn, publish it under http://incubator.apache.org/, etc.
Finally, you would do well to read the thread starting with:
http://www.mail-archive.com/general%40incubator.apache.org/msg04496.html
