Being a POI committer I'd say that this would be okay for me - as well
as POI staying a Jakarta subproject. In fact I simply don't care.
I think that's pretty much the POI consensus - the problem being that
being in Jakarta and not caring about the rest of Jakarta is less and
less enjoyable.
What you should do (my opinion anyway) is to become a pmc of your own
and have a policy where every committer to POI is automatically on the
POI pmc. Each quarter (each month for the first three) someone would
send in a report which looks much like the one they do in the Jakarta
report anyway.
No rush (especially as at least one committer is on vacation at the
moment), but I increasingly think it's the best thing for POI. And
yes, also a good thing for congealing the rest of the Jakarta
community into a single community rather than many independent
sub-communities.
