Sam,
It is not a big deal to start such a project, whereas, it would be
significantly more difficult to keep it from deteriorating into
unmaintained crippleware. It takes at least a few people willing to
react to new issues in JIRA, answer questions on the user list, vote on
releases and act as release managers. In other words it takes a
community to keep a project viable. I am very reluctant to open any new
(even minor) construction site unless it comes with people committed to
maintaining the project in the long run.
We have contrib package for all sorts of code we do not want / or unable
to maintain properly, distributed as semi-official reference material.
