</span>Certainly that would be my last commit at the ASF... (: It's more<br>
paper work. "You" (RedHat) had to contribute the code to the ASF<br>
first. Then the EPL licenses will be replaced by ASL, the product is<br>
rebranded to be "Apache", packages names change, etc.<br>
<br>
If you think that a such transfer is doable, and is preferred over me<br>
managing the plug-in here, then I will bring it up at the ASF, and see<br>
what they think.<br>
