Hi Roman, Now we know 2 ways to bring back Ambari: 1、We can find 3 former Ambari PMCs, and Apache community will discuss restart from TLP. 2、We can draft a proposal with 1 champion, 3 mentors and start a vote to discuss restart from incubator.
If I understand correctly, you now provide a third way: We just need 3 Apache Members and this can easily restart from TLP(or Incubator)? Is there anything else we need to do?
