   it is because nobody has volunteered. 
   
   I'm offering to help with a 3.5.1 as it is needed, I don't think anyone 
wants to do a 3.4.4. 
   
   1. There's a lot of manual work, as well as the actual release management 
steps https://github.com/apache/hadoop-release-support
   2. I've been trying to automate more of that in #8811 ... As you can see, it 
is need of review. See: we all suffer from that!. (reviews welcome, obviously)
   
   You could start a discussion on hadoop common dev mailing list, but IMO you 
should be moving off java8 onto java17 (which is the minimum for 3.5.x). A lot 
of the dependencies which are being updated for security reasons are now 
java11+ as a minimum build, so can't be backported. Jersey/jetty stuff is 
already in this state.
