So, bottom line, Please draw up a new proposal for a separate project.

So here's the thing; no-one involved (the folks donating the code and the committers on the ServiceMix project) want a new project. We all want to work in the single JBI project, ServiceMix where the JBI container and JBI components live and are developed, documented and tested together. We want a single, strong community around JBI.

Incidentally its worth looking at other projects at Apache like Agila and various projects on http://ws.apache.org like EWS, Mirae, Muse, WSRF, TSIK etc which are kinda quiet, some near dormant. Making projects too small and too granular can sometimes harm the chances of creating a vibrant community. Just as the some folks in the WS PMC are starting to consider collapsing projects together due to inactivity, I think we should stay open to the idea of creating less granular projects that can build a thriving community to start with then, if the community decides, split things off later if something becomes so popular it deserves its own project.
