I may be mis-remembering, but I thought that an SGA wasn't required for ALv2
code. OpenZipkin appears to be ALv2. The licenses in the SGA are pretty much
the same as in ALv2.
I thought that for ALv2 code, we mostly cared that the community documented
that it was willing to make the move from wherever the code is now to the ASF,
and it wasn't super important to get approval from folks with minor
contributions as long as we were confident their contributions were under ALv2.
Once the community has approved the move to the ASF, any copyright holder or an
agent can replace the headers with the ASF header.
Of course, I could be wrong...

Hi, John
Thanks for the input. So, I would hazard a guess that Twitter folks
would like to help with this. I'm not sure who would want to hunt
through the management chain to find someone to reverse-own a decision
made 3 years ago, though! Regardless, on my part, I'll see if I can
find a champion inside Twitter to resurrect and SGA.
Best,
