If we want a release, we MUST have a VOTE. > I once heard Ross say that there was an ASP project (Subversion?) that > never had votes; they only had releases.

From memory, Subversion doesn't have votes for new committers but PMC membership and releases require a VOTE. > Since this is a developer tool and not a runtime library or anything > like that, maybe we can just say "YMMV, this is available any time you > want it"? It could be a runtime library. One possibility is that we integrate it into Tomcat 10 somehow so that if you try and deploy a Java EE 8 WAR it gets automatically converted to a Jakarta EE 9 WAR. > That said, I have no objections whatsoever with holding a vote.

I think the naming of some of the artefacts could be improved. As this is the first ever release I'm leaning towards cancelling / voting against to get them fixed so all releases will (hopefully) use a consistent naming convention rather it changing after the first release.
