Hi Thomas, Is there someone who would be willing to take responsibility for maintaining the Apache Apex packages in Bigtop?
We generally like to find a maintainer for each package and add them to our maintainers list. This way we know who to contact if a build fails and blocks a release. If there is no maintainer (and the build has problems), we use that as grounds for removing the package from Bigtop.
