I always followed new releases and checked the change log for both
PyLucene and Lucene. I never felt entitled to vote however.
This seems to be a common misconception.
Everyone can vote on a release, everyone is entitled to.
It's just an Apache Rule that 3 PMC +1 votes are required to make a release.
Look at it this way: if a non-PMC user votes +1, it's a sign of interest.
If such a user votes -1, it's even more: a sign of participation and a
non-binding veto to the release.
Sure, according to the rules, one can ignore it and go ahead with the
release but what does that say to your user community ?
Of course anyone can vote !
Anyone interested in this project can and should vote !
If no one does, how do we know anyone cares ?
Andi..
I can still vote, but I think it would be more appropriate if Thijs does
that.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Andi,
This time, crickets, the voting thread has been completely quiet.
For me - and it's not an excuse at all - you hit winter holidays, I'm
really sorry!
If the Lucene PMC agrees and no PyLucene users come forward, I propose the
following:
- shutdown the PyLucene project
- fork JCC to my gitlab (https://gitlab.pyicu.org/main) where it can
get the occasional fix or improvement before being released to PyPI.
JCC has been distributed from PyPI forever,
https://pypi.org/project/JCC/#history
so JCC users shouldn't even notice this...
I think open source is mostly about the community and folks coding together
for fun... And not many of us seem to be
able to help you with PyLucene development - I can't, for that matter,
because my Python is really limited.
Your plan sounds good to me. And you'd get more freedom from procedural
release
requirements at Apache too, which sounds like an added benefit?... :)
I also hope that, regardless of the status of PyLucene and JCC, you remain
with the Lucene project.
Dawid
