I think having information or a link to that information at
https://projects.apache.org/ on how to update would fix that.
There's https://projects.apache.org/about.html but it could be
improved in terms of what we expect from projects and how they can do
that.
I'm going to pick a few projects and go through the process myself, and
document my findings/frustrations. I would encourage a few of you to do
the same with projects you are interested in.
Related, distributed data doesn't work at the ASF, imho. Having each
project have their own unique location for this data, combined with
having it in svn (while an increasing number of our projects don't speak
svn any more), is a recipe for data rot.
Daniel patched the system a while back to consolidate/centralize that
data, and was vetoed/reverted for reasons that are unclear to me.
Having this data centralized would, I think, increase the chances that
we'd actually keep it updated.
