I believe you are the one who best can judge the location, and I can 
just give the facts as objectively as I can. 

This will introduce a dependency on the jt400 project (which should be 
in maven) so compilation should be possible on any Java platform.   
Testing will require an AS/400 box.  If this catches on, then I believe 
it should be possible to arrange something either with IBM or others.  
Time will tell.  This also goes for the number of interested users :)

I expect this code to be very stable and unchanging when mature, simply 
because the AS/400 is extremely focused on backward compatability.  It 
will most likely be changes in either slf4j or logback that will trigger 
changes.

There is precedent of JMS classes being in logback-classic (most likely 
to be log4j compatible), but I have no idea how hard this has been to 
maintain, so I'll leave it up to you.
