Both will surely help, although it's probably too early for talking 
about concrete sponsorship.
I see three possible approaches for you:

1)
Write to Peter privately, and you'll probably get into an exchange of 
ideas what could be useful.

2)
Goto https://github.com/openlilylib/ly2xml/wiki/_pages and have a look 
if anything rings a bell with you.
But be warned: The hyperlinks may lead you far away ;-)

3)
Have a look at http://music-encoding.org
It's not about MusicXML export but something for a later step. But it's 
a major academic initiative that _seems_ to be partially complementary 
to us, and it may be a good thing to think about converters for 
MEI->ly<-MEI.
I'm telling this you because MEI is an XML DTD and so it should be 
possible to convert between both with XSLT. And probably this is already 
done or started, so some research in this regard would be useful.

Best
Urs
