I'm working on a Google App Engine/Java (GAE/J) plug-in for VFS

done) and have a few questions:
1. Is the LRUFilesCache safe for production use? GAE/J won't allow
using
the default SoftRefFilesCache because it doesn't allow background
threads.
I've found a few really old messages saying things like
"SoftRefFilesCache
is the only implementation suitable for production use" and "other
file
cache implementation might cause resouce leaks", etc.
To be honest, I've only glanced over these classes.
2. I might be interested in contributing my implementation, either
as a 3rd
party plug-in or to be included with the standard VFS package, but
don't
know how to go about this. Is there someone currently "in charge" of
VFS?
This is an Apache project. The Apache Commons PMC manages all the
Commons projects, but it is up to the committers to collectively make
decisions. The normal route of contributing is to create a Jira issue
and attach a patch. One of the VFS committers will review it and then
comment on it one way or another. However, as this is a completely
volunteer organization it is unpredictable how long that might take.
If you continue to contribute and participate on this list the
community will take notice and at some point might offer commit
rights. See http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#meritocracy
