Hello, 

I've been using the Commons CLI library for various projects for several years 
now. The CLI library is nearly inactive, and I would to see that changed.  The 
current version of CLI, 1.0, was released over two years ago.  Since then, some 
work was done on a new 2.0 release, but that was never finished.  The bug 
tracker is full of bugs relating to the 1.0 release, but there is no way to 
open new issues.  Checking out the 1.0 branch, it apparently was branched some 
time after the 1.0 binary was created.

Commons CLI is useful to many Java projects, and I think it's only going to 
become more visible once Commons is made a TLP.

What I'd like to do:
 1) Bug fix the 1.0 branch, and close some of the existing bug reports.
 2) Get a 2.0 release, and re-open the/a bug tracking system.

The 1.0 branch has enough features for most projects, and it's the release that 
nearly everyone uses, so I think it's worthwhile putting some maintenance 
effort into it.  

Since the bug tracker is closed for new bugs, and I can't find any active 
committers for this library, I haven't been able to contribute patches.

Is there someone who has the time to help revive this project?  I'm happy to do 
as much as a non-committer can do, but I need someone to help by reviewing and 
integrating patches updating the bug tracker, etc..

Cheers,

Brian
