The Maven PMC recently voted on the maven dev list to assume responsibility for the shade plugin code. It's up to this group if that transfer results in a fork or a source move.
Vote is open for 72hrs. Please vote: [ ] Move the code to Apache and remove it from the mojo svn [ ] Leave the source in the mojo svn My vote: [x ] Move the code to Apache and remove it from the mojo svn I believe it will be less confusing to have only one copy of the source and not to fork it.
