How about this:
+ New packages may be proposed to the library general list, and voted on
by all the subproject committers. To be accepted, a package proposal
must receive a positive 3/4's vote of the subproject
committers. Proposals are to identify the scope of the package, the
initial source from which the package is to be created, the ASF products
that might use the package, the mailing list(s) if any which are to be
created, and the initial set of committers.
+ Anyone may propose a new package to the library and list themselves
as the initial committers for the package. The vote on the proposal is
then also a vote to enter new committers to the subproject as needed.

Good question --
Sam -- how do the PMC votes on new subprojects work? Would we vote +0 to
approve only and +1 to approve and commit? Or is it just thumbs-up
thumbs-down.
Which begs another question in the Apache HTTPD and Jakarta guidelines
-- is
+0 a "positive" vote?

Sure!

I'm not sure if we need 3 whole committers for a package ... comments?
The 3 is an arbitrary quorum Apache adopted since not everyone is always
available. For a package, I would make the quorum 3 or all the
committers, whichever is less.
=T.
