This was where I based some of my attempts to bring in Python. I’ve asked similarly about the status but the last indication was the Python (at least) was to be part of the sixth (and final) donation from Oracle which from what I can tell is not high priority to anyone anymore.
I seem to recall there was also a call for interest of which should be “donated” (1). I believe there was some follow up interest on some contribs, some not under Oracles full control, others with some being significantly out of date in other areas (i.e. a lot of old deprecate, replaced APIs) Assume could run the license util to update all of the licenses of each if not already done. Could they be maintained separately (maybe a Netbeans-contrib under the Apache organization area on GitHub) with each being built to be publishable to the new plug-in portal? Or maybe make separate sub projects for each contrib?
