Right now ccm isn't formally a subproject of Cassandra or under governance of 
the ASF. Given it's an integral components of our CI as well as for local 
testing for many devs, and we now have more experience w/our muscle on IP 
clearance and ingesting / absorbing subprojects where we can't track down every 
single contributor to get an ICLA, seems like it might be worth revisiting the 
topic of donation of ccm to Apache.

For what it's worth, Sylvain originally and then DataStax after transfer have 
both been incredible and receptive stewards of the projects and repos, so this 
isn't about any response to any behavior on their part. Structurally, however, 
it'd be better for the health of the project(s) long-term to have ccm promoted 
in. As far as I know there was strong receptivity to that donation in the past 
but the IP clearance was the primary hurdle.

Anyone have any thoughts for or against?
