Does that mean AxKit goes away from Apache.org?
In the meantime I think this would be a Good Thing, assuming that
would mean much less bureaucracy. (I can't imagine there is still such
a thing like a voting for a release in the current open source world.)
I would like to see it *much* more open, with a public repository with
*easy* committer bits that some (> 1) core people can give out to
everyone with the slightest interest.
I fear, once Matt has less time again, like it happened in the last
years, AxKit will be dead again before you can say Blueberry pie.
With more open policies, people with tuits like Tom Schindl could had
driven it easier forward in the meantime, instead of forking the
already tenderly progressing project. (Driven forward regardless of
the direction -- every direction were better than stagnancy.)
IMHO the problem with AxKit is its central, pyramid-like development
organization. Probably Apache bureaucracy encourages such structures,
that's why I consider it as deprecated in times where other projects
fly with hyperspeed and zero bureaucracy.

Of course I'm just a lurker and did nothing for AxKit besides trying
out and propagating it a bit, so feel free to ignore me. :-)
