https://incubator.apache.org/cookbook/ explains how the ASF Incubator works and which projects are likely to fit. It's about the community really, so assuming the current owners are willing to donate the code to the ASF, what's needed is a community to make it happen. Looking at recent project statistics [1] the activity seems low in the last two years, with two people sharing the vast majority of commits. Not sure if that's sufficient to foster a viable ASF community, especially if the project's main sponsor is going away. >From a formal point of view, a viable ASF project needs at least three active PMC (Project Management Committee) members, so less than say 5 active committers rarely works. Donating the code to an existing ASF project might be a good option if one of our projects is willing to accept it. Having some of the existing contributors indicate that they are willing to continue maintaining that code obviously helps in that case. -Bertrand [1] https://github.com/Shopify/sarama/graphs/contributors?from=2021-02-20&to=2023-04-12&type=c --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
