I think Curator has the same problem as ZooKeeper: it works well, not too
many things to do. (Even when I see more activity recently on ZooKeeper.)

This is why we don't see too much activity on the mailing lists and also
from committers. Why to change something that works?
Pace of releases looks good to me, as Curator mostly follows ZooKeeper
releases. That looks to be a good option.
The big question is if Curator needs a new release for a new ZooKeeper
release or not, because then Curator might have even less releases in the
future.

I personally wanted to do more things after the jUnit5 migration, but am
quite busy right now and I'm only working on ZooKeeper or Curator as a
hobby project to release stress.
(I should do more. ;-))
