OK, sounds like PMCs are not empowered to make a judgement call here. Here are two cases: 1) Swiz Framework. This code base was proposed for donation way back in 2013. There was even a vote thread [1] and emails from one of the contributors who was trying to sort through the paperwork [2]. Code base is here [3]. I believe he got busy with other things and simply couldn't find motivation to try to hunt down the small contributors and gave up. [1] Vote Thread http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/flex-dev/201306.mbox/%3cCAMFKFRi_t mgwdx78flhhfj+5wjnnk-0hqo0lxohzh8duhe9...@mail.gmail.com%3e [2] Email from contributor: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/flex-dev/201307.mbox/%3cCAHG52k5q- qdg3mipbecilhky9xwolk1v6j9s-jgxepk+spc...@mail.gmail.com%3e [3] Current Code base: https://github.com/swiz/ 2) AS3Commons A major contributor, who is also a committer, asked about donating this code base to the ASF. Because of the issue tracking down past contributors for Swiz, I recommended that he make sure he knew how to get in touch with all past contributors before we officially proposed this donation to the project. So there is no discuss or vote thread yet. Because he is also busy doing other things, he has not found the time to hunt down all past contributors. Code base is here [4] [4] https://github.com/AS3Commons Thanks, -Alex > >Marvin Humphrey > >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org >For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org >
