None I am aware of at the moment. The Maven plug-in joined Tomcat with essentially a single committer (Olivier) and while there were enough PMC members interested to vote for releases, there committer community never really grew. It looks like Olivier has moved on to other things. The question is how to reboot this community? Is there anyone interested in becoming a Maven plug-in committer? Are you? If people showed interest and backed that up with something like producing a patch for a currently open issue I'd be willing to advocate for giving them commit access on the understanding they would only work on the Maven plug-in. Not to say they couldn't expand to the full Tomcat code base, but we have a slightly higher bar for that. I can find a little time to help with mentoring on the 'how the ASF works' side of things and can answer questions on Tomcat internals. However, I'm fairly clueless when it comes to Maven. > There is a Tomcat 8 Maven repository at > https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.tomcat.maven/tomcat8-maven-plugin/3.0-r1655215. > It's from August of 2015, and there are no docs to indicate > functionality/stability, so I'm hesitant to mess with that.
