Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5537 I think it is good to add such a text, but the `description` within the POM file is a bit hidden. I don't think anyone would really look there. How about adding a README.md file to the `flink-contrib` project instead? I would also try to phrase it a bit more positive ;-) Something like "This is a staging/incubating area for new modules while the community evaluates how they are received by users and whether there will be commitment to maintain them long term."
