Shawn and his brother were the only guys having work on this piece of
code, with a few additions from me (mainly the integration of Apache
LDAP API and Apache DS, plus a few fixes here and there). Obviously,
Shawn's brother will have to agree to the move, which is not an issue so
far.

There are a few dependencies on third party libs which have to be taken
care of, but AFAIR, mainly UnboundID - and the work is almost done as I
already used Apache LDAP API as a replacement last year). We have to
check if there is any other (but AFAIR, nope).

In many ways, Incubator could be the right place for this project.
Likely, if it succeeds to get out of incubator, it will become a TLP.
The question here is will it carry enough contributors ?

This is why I wanted to open a discussion here.
