Hi Folks,

*What*
I would like to propose that we replace source code coining 'whiteList' and
'blackList'-esque terms/phrases with some more representative language e.g.
allowList, denyList.

*Where*
* subcollection plugin -
https://github.com/apache/nutch/blob/master/src/plugin/subcollection/src/java/org/apache/nutch/collection/Subcollection.java#L46-L47
* urlfilter-domainblacklist plugin -
https://github.com/apache/nutch/tree/master/src/plugin/urlfilter-domainblacklist

*Why*
I think we could and should use more neutral terminology and lead by
example.
I want to STRESS that this proposal is by no means an effort by me to
reflect negatively on the authors or their EXCELLENT contributions to
Nutch. I hope this is taken in good faith and we as a community can come
together on this one.

*How*
Please voice your opinions here and we can take it from there. I would
personally love to hear all opinions and I will personally take any
action(s) if we decide to go forward with the proposal.

Thank you for your consideration folks.

Lewis
