Most (if not all) are managed by members of the PMCs. Though you make a very good point. The assumption that all of them are PMC managed is quite possibly flawed.
We still need to tell PMCs what is going on, but we should also ask them to communicate it to their dev communities. Does anyone have any ideas how we can reach out to others?

Perhaps I'm confused. Apache Extras is projects that aren't ASF projects, right? So they're not controlled by a PMC.
