OpenPlans still exists, they just aren't interested in GeoServer or
GeoWebCache development any more. They included the copyrights they held on
GWC when they transferred GeoServer to OSGeo. As usual, GWC was a bit of
an afterthought that didn't get much attention. I still haven't had time
to update the copyright headers.
So it would appear we'd need OSGeo, Boundless, GeoSolutions, and
François-Régis Deboffles to agree if we wanted to make that move.
