Hi Matt,

Again, sorry for being PITA about it, I would really like to understand
what kind of problem should be solved?
I looked at the list of people that are able to work directly on the ops4j
projects, 110.
https://github.com/orgs/ops4j/people
Then I know from the past, that we had a couple of pull requests by people
not in that list.
Where would we be better with moving those projects under the ASF umbrella?
I really would like to understand the real issue.

Thanks, Achim
