Hello, Based on the comments to this proposal [1] in the druid-operator repository, there is willingness by the maintainers to have the project donated to Apache Druid. I would be happy to spend the time and effort driving this forward, as we are using the druid-operator internally and have interest in its longevity. However, I'm not a maintainer/committer of either druid-operator nor Apache Druid. Thus, if there is any maintainer that would like to participate, please come forward. Otherwise I can work and this process.
