Hi,
I hereby propose the dissolution and archival of the JDK 7 Updates
Project.
Rationale: This Project hasn't had a Project Lead for more than six
months [3], and no mailing list traffic in that time, either [4]. It
hasn't seen a single commit go into its repository for more than 7
months. [5]
Given that there has not been any interest in the OpenJDK Community in
this Project for several months, I believe that it is time to thank
all the former Project Leads, Reviewers, Committers, Authors and other
Participants for their many contributions over the years and to move
the JDK 7 Updates Project to the "dissolved" state.
As the first Project Lead for JDK 7 Updates, it was a pleasure to have
been involved in its creation, learning the lessons from the JDK 6
Project, and working together with many of you to come up with
effective ways to collaborate on the maintenance of JDK update
releases within the OpenJDK Community.
In a sort of historical symmetry, it's now my responsibility, more
than a decade later, to initiate the steps for its archival.
With that in mind, and in accordance with the Bylaws [6], I would like
to ask this Project's Committers to vote to dissolve and archive the
JDK 7 Updates Project. At that point its mailing list and repository
will be closed for further contributions.
Votes are due by 19:00 UTC on April 17th, 2023.[7]
Only current JDK 7 Updates Committers [1] are eligible to vote
on this nomination. Votes must be cast in the open by replying
to this mailing list.
For Lazy Consensus voting instructions, see [2].
cheers,
