Hi Paweł The idea of showing that bit of code was to give you an example how things can end up neglected even being a part of a large and active project. You do not have to look at it if you do not feel like it. Obviously the code never got documented or updated since its initial contribution. Please also consider downside of your project no longer being independent. It will have to share the same release cycle with HttpClient and conform to the project guidelines and requirements. You will no longer be able to release it whenever you like. You will not be able to break APIs whenever you feel like. You will have to co-exist with some unpleasant people like myself and tolerate their opinion. What might be a reasonable thing to do first is to subscribe to the dev list, start following the discussions on that list, review pull requests, participate in release votes and help resolve issues. If you think you are OK with all that you are welcome to contribute your entire project as a pull request at Github. You will have to port it to 5.0 APIs first though. There will be no new features in the 4.5.x code line.
