BTW, another question is: *Who* are the currently acitve comitters? And which one is listening to this list? Could you please *say* something?
I think simply picking someone is a bad idea. Especially if you are seeking a new lead or the "sole comitter". You never know if the guy / girl is only keen on "being part of it" and once he /she is part of it loses his / her interest. But on the other hand, there is not much of an option here :)
I don't like the idea of "self promotion". A better way would be (if the comitters ever even think of things like seeking a new comitter / lead) to let the comunity on the dev list propose some names. But either way we choose, the comitters have to *say* something to all this!
I would consider that this is something to take to the PMC.
I'm not suggesting that you/we should *complain* to the PMC, but if Velocity needs a new set of committers, and the existing committer base is not able to perform the task of finding/voting them in, then the PMC should appoint someone who can.
Right now it appears that Velocity needs an "interim" lead who can
assist the committers (who have only a small amount of time) and the
developers (who have more time/ideas) to get the project "living" again.
I believe that it is the job of the PMC to find that interim lead.
Perhaps Geir could ask the PMC to provide assistance? I think it would be preferrable for him to do that rather than the have the developers "go over his head", so to speak.
Actually, I'm more than happy to try to reboot my giving of effort. I think we start with 1.3.1rc2 out the door (Dan?) and then we go from there.
If that doesn't work, I'll be happy to do that.
