Sounds like ideal background for a "project head" -
The people who do the actually coding often hate with a passion the chore of running the project. Even the almost fully automated projects supported here at Mobile Read.
So I would suggest you give my suggestion a second thought.
It reads as if you have at least one person already that you might talk into joining your project.
Putting the work up as a "project", either here or at one of the other "free" project hosting sites, has other advantages.
For instance:
pjsua is licensed GPL:
http://www.pjsip.org/pjsua.htm
http://www.pjsip.org/licensing.htm
Which means that once changes or additions are made to it and the resultant binary is distributed, the source must remain available for three years.
Putting the changed source into a publicly hosted project somewhere is a good step towards handling that requirement.
And most project hosts (like Mobile Read) provide additional support services, like a Wiki to keep information about the application.
That way, the information does not get "lost" in an old forum thread.
Plus consider the "bragging rights"
You could still win the first spot on the list of "Kindle Projects" here at Mobile Read.
No one has yet scored a spot on that list.
