Copying dev@httpd.a.o for completeness.

To: apreq-...@httpd.apache.org


Seven+ years ago, apreq released our most recent distribution, and the code
was folded into httpd trunk. Since that time, contrast the apreq-dev and
apreq-cvs list activity;

https://lists.apache.org/list.html?apreq-...@httpd.apache.org:lte=7y:
https://lists.apache.org/list.html?apreq-...@httpd.apache.org:lte=7y:

vs discussion and commit activity indicating apreq on the dev/cvs@httpd
lists;

https://lists.apache.org/list.html?dev@httpd.apache.org:lte=7y:apreq
https://lists.apache.org/list.html?c...@httpd.apache.org:lte=7y:apreq

I've spent the last few months moderating apreq-dev@h.a.o, deleting ~5-10
emails/day, and this obviously isn't efficient. But it's also confusing
that dev@ list equally relevant to apreq-dev@. It's also concerning that
any commits on apreq-cvs@ must mirror the commit traffic to httpd trunk
(notices to cvs@ list), the two svn notification lists obscure this
oversight.

I propose we shutter the apreq -dev and -cvs lists, redirecting all further
component/subproject discussion to dev|cvs@httpd.a.o, with a final
'see-here:' post to these  two apreq- lists, for further questions and
followup on the active list. Archives will remain available and
http://httpd.apache.org/apreq/ website updated (with a comment to indicate
apreq in the subject line of mailing list posts, and some actually working
archive links.)

If I hear no objection to that plan in the next 72 hours, I'll proceed to
ask infra to reroute all svn notices of http://svn.apache.org/repos/
asf/httpd/apreq/ to the cvs@httpd, and close both apreq-dev/cvs to new
traffic. Archives will be preserved. All subproject business would occur on
dev@httpd, and I will update the website to make this clear, so there
should be no interruption.

If there is objection, let's work through any open concerns first, on this
list.

I suspect there are still significant decisions to be made about the state
of apreq subproject, but these are best addressed by the larger community
at dev@httpd to get the maximum possible participation and consensus.

Yours,

Bill
