Bertrand, Please do.
I trust you take e.g. the fact into consideration that if the W3C "wrapper" Reza started is not meant to be trashed, folders like "lib" are shared and I made them reusable for a good reason (also to minimize the places where we have to use that carefully drafted notice file;-) A separate "w3cddr", "simpleddr" or whatever you may name it module would force duplication and maintenance of the special Maven library plugin, just to mention one side-effect. Nobody wants to waste or duplicate efforts, so whenever a W3C wrapper was compliant to the level W3C expects and could act as drop-in replacement for those apps and demos that use the W3C API, other variants may simply be "archived" whatever folder you suggest for that (currently it's "contrib" but maybe there's a better name) The same happened to "test-data" which I archived there after everyone confirmed, nobody was using it any more. Yet Eberhard's 100k or so UA strings may still be of interest so they should not be deleted either;-) As Browsermap showed a combination of Git and SVN works to some extent, but I'm actually more in favor of a first class Git repo. DeltaSpike (Apache doesn't seem to have such deep level of documentation yet) shows extremely well how Git should be used: http://deltaspike.apache.org/documentation/source.html and in more detail https://deltaspike.apache.org/suggested-git-workflows.html That alone gives each responsible person or sub-team freedom, control and responsibility to merge it back into their "stable" or "master" branch. If followed by everyone a module-owner is always the one who has to merge it, or (should Apache support that already?) one may also put Gerrit on top where the merge is only sanctioned if a certain number of committers/PMC members vote for the pull-request (a bit like micro-voting if you want, some ecosystems like Eclipse use it in nearly every project especially the larger ones;-) I'll start a thread about Git since the two are not directly related. We likely won't move everything, see many other Apache projects that did so for their new development or the entire repository.
