I have *not* dedicated a "small" amount of time on this project and
some of the public correspondance has been published from
https://lists.owasp.org/pipermail/esapi-user/2011-March/date.html
through till now and its dependency on the WAFEC i.e.
http://lists.webappsec.org/pipermail/wasc-wafec_lists.webappsec.org/2011-February/000034.html

As far as recognition for the GPC, this is inferred just as it is with
ModSecurity.  That stated, I have credited all the people, including
Paulo, that have contributed to projects that I have lead in the past
e.g. ~46.20 of http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5419982525671711780
and in this case that would also include Jim.
