There is definitely a process for doing this within Apache. ASF is a
volunteer organization after all, and commit karma is granted for (a)
code contributions and (b) the ability and desire to work with the
community.
We would definitely welcome your effort at Cayenne. The way it works
- initially you start by submitting patches via Jira, and of the
committers would review and apply them. Once everybody is comfortable
with how this goes, we will vote and grant you committer status,
removing the last obstacle for you doing this work.

I can't advise you on your options if you fork, but if you continue
doing work under the ASF roof, ASF license will definitely be a
requirement. Wouldn't you still be able to use it in a GPL project? I
don't know the answer to that. HTTPD runs on Linux somehow :-)
