Piotr and I are very well aware of reusable GitHub workflows <https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/reusing-workflows>. As a matter of fact, that is what I am currently working on: moving all our shared `pom.xml` (the distribution ZIP creation, signing, changelog management, etc.) and GitHub workflow (`build.yml`, etc.) boilerplate to `logging-parent` and *reusing* it in `logging-log4j-tools` to cut a release. In our last video call – we missed you Matt ;) – I agreed with Ralph to PoC this and share the results in `dev@` and upon consensus practice this on `logging-log4j2`.
