I would vote for changing the id but setup gearpump_io so that it follows
ApacheGearpump and retweets.

Hi All,
I formerly applied for a Gearpump Twitter account
https://twitter.com/gearpump_io, which consists of the name *Gearpump* and
id *gearpump_io *(since gearpump has been taken). Now that Gearpump is an
Apache Incubating project, shall we
A. change our name to "Apache Gearpump" or
B. create a new id with "@ApacheGearpump" (available)
For a Twitter account, the name can be changed at any time while the id is
permanent.
After some investigation of the Twitter accounts of Apache projects, I
find that they fall into three groups in the format *name/id*
1. ApacheProject/@ApacheProject
- Apache Flink/@ApacheFlink (https://twitter.com/ApacheFlink)
- Apache Parquet/@ApacheParquet (https://twitter.com/ApacheParquet)
- Apache Spark/@ApacheSpark (https://twitter.com/ApacheSpark)
They created ids after they became Apache projects.
2. ApacheProject/@Project
- Apache Cassandra/@cassandra (https://twitter.com/cassandra)
- Apache Samza/@samzastream (https://twitter.com/samzastream)
They continue to use the id before they are Apache projects but change
their names.
3. ApacheProject/@Project and ApacheProject/@ApacheProject
- Apache Storm/@stormprocessor (https://twitter.com/stormprocessor)
- Apache Storm/@ApacheStorm (https://twitter.com/ApacheStorm)
Storm created a new id after becoming an Apache project, and both accounts
are active and have a quite a few followers.
What do you think ?
