Hi David, ASF welcomes open-source projects with a health community and can serve as an umbrella of such projects.
After reading the issue mentioned above, I'd like to ask for a community overview of this project; especially after Shopify shifts away from this project, is the community still vibrant to maintain the software? For donating a project to ASF, there are generally two ways: 1. Going through the incubator process[1]; 2. An existing project accepts large portion of code contributions, with clear IP clearance[2]. For approach 1, you can read the proposal guide and try to answer the questions in proposal template[3]. For approach 2, maybe you can try to get in touch with Kafka PMC. But I'm afraid there are already several open-source Go clients, and they may not accept this one specially. Best, tison.
