Jena was registered at SourceForge 2001-11-20
I found this in ASF SVN:
[[
Added Mon Nov 26 17:41:44 2001 UTC (15 years, 11 months ago) by der
]]
on copyright.txt.
so it looks like we have full history somewhere in the Apache
infrastructure.
CVS:SF->SVN:SF->SVN:ASF
ASF git does not include the pre-git history.

The whole of SF SVN history was imported by the Apache infrastructure
team (a herculean effort) into Apache SVN. I don't know how to get to it
from git, it may not be there and only in SVN.
The earliest git root commit is for the move to Apache from SF
[4298106f1e], 6 years ago. (There are 4 root commits due to merges)

It's an interesting start and to make the analysis usefully inform the
reader as to the state of the project I suggest treating different kinds
of issues different, not uniformly important.
There are many (, many) minor things and they outweigh the major
problems. Calling them all "issues" gives them equal weight. Some are
about canonicalization of the code.
Yet reformatting the whole code base (if practical, which it arguable)
then greatly decreases the usefulness of git history. That would be a
huge loss.
(NB the "issue" word has a specific meaning for JIRA which a lot of
Apache projects use. Jena's current total, now, is 1424.)

Thank you in advance!
