Hi Rich!

I totally understand that notion.But there is apparently not exactly much to 
contribute tohttps://github.com/apache/comdev-reporter
After some time of digging I found that the sources are still maintained 
inhttps://svn.apache.org/viewvc/comdev/reporter.apache.org/trunkbut apparently 
the sync to git doesn't work?

There are people like me who already contribute to about a dozen ASF 
projects.And yes, I'm also willing to help out with one more IF I know the 
technology stack. Means if it's programmed in some language I'm fluent (Java 
and C, C++ mostly). Trying to dig into it, but I'm not sure if I'm much of a 
help in that mixture of js and python. And I've not the slightest clue about 
that kibble tool yet.

I feel like the most important thing we can do is get more people towards
an understanding of how the reporter tool works so that it's not just on
one or two individuals to resuscitate it when things go down.

Perhaps what we need is more visibility into the fact that this is a
volunteer driven tool and that contributions are welcome from everyone. In
the long ago, projects would pitch in to infrastructure stuff that was not
officially supported and this kind of falls into that same category.

My impression is that almost every time this happens with reporter, the fix
is quick and easy, but that only a handful of people know how to do it. Can
we try to spread that knowledge a little bit?
