Hi John, NTT is currently using Milagro as a crypto library. Retirement of Milagro causes impact on our business, so I would like to ask for discussion what can we do for supporting Milagro.
As I mentioned last time, we have code that is ready to commit. Our repositories have been updated since then. However, the way to commit the code to Apache repository is not clear for us. As far as I recognize it is because the code from MIRACL is not placed on the Apache repository. Since MIRACL's code also have been updated continuously, it seems this management problem blocks starting the project for years. I think we can discuss whether NTT team can take over the management of the Apache repository to resolve the problem. Kind regards, Go Yamamoto -----Original Message----- From: John D.

At that point, some community members stepped up to help out the project. However, I don't believe its been enough. Since that has occurred: - Milagro has missed reporting periods. This has included multiple requests for a report by me. - Requests for a special report clarifying the move of source code away from the ASF managed repos on github have been unanswered. - On list activity has dropped to nearly nothing. - Very little commit activity; most of your repositories have not been updated since we last spoke. At this point, I believe its clear that Milagro should retire. [1]: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/e6a5db6fab6c61156c2101aae003ed576ddb0e77f3bb2c037b405131@%3Cdev.milagro.apache.org%3E
