In that case this should be the process:

IIRC, it was orphaned in the 11/2018 extinction event. The Stewardship SIG
temporarily picked it up, but we opted for dropping it because the packaged
version was pretty outdated and had open CVEs associated with it.

In almost all cases, checkstyle should not be essential for package builds,
and you should be able to just disable the maven plugin without
consequences:

%prep
(setup and patches be here)
%pom_disable_plugin :maven-checkstyle-plugin

google-http-java-client looks easy to fix. It won't build because it needs
one dependency, maven-checkstyle-plugin, which won't build because it needs
one dependency, checkstyle. But, checkstyle is blocked even though built
successfully the last time.

So, all three packages look unnecessarily blocked.


checkstyle was retired because it was orphaned for 6+ weeks.  I don't know 
why it was orphaned, but since it was retired 6 months ago, it will have 
to be re-reviewed to come back.
