We can definitely integrate with Travis and add the Travis badges to the project README, and most other apache projects on github today already do that. To your earlier point about git repo being a mirror of svn - its indeed true and that's how Apache infrastructure is setup and its not unique to OpenNLP alone. Regarding using Slack - we recently added a slack channel for the project to be able to work closely on Releases and the 1.7.0 release today was in very large part made possible due to slack. But ASF still mandates that most project discussions still happen on mailing lists since they are archived (unlike slack - the free version of which doesn't archive histories). So we may have to keep to slack for sometime.
