I welcome the donation, and hope we are able to accept all of the drivers.  
This is really great news IMO.

 I do however wonder if the project may be accumulating too many sub-projects?  
I wonder if it's time to think about splitting, and perhaps incubating a 
project for the drivers?

    Java and Python at least.

    No opinions here. What are the major differences here? Could you please 
elaborate.

    I generally think people who have built the code base should become 
committers to avoid disruption and allow continuity.

    I am not completely sure but we may need to rename some packages but it 
would be really great if we could avoid breakages due to naming changes.

    ASF Jenkins/CircleCI works? Do the drivers have specific needs beyond this?

    sub-projects like cassandra-diff, sidecar, etc. This way drivers continue 
to evolve separately.
