As I understand the thread http://www.nabble.com/Forrestdoc-and-Maven-JXR-tf3864888s177.html they are still deciding. Reading your words it sounds they already have consensus they want be the new host.

We are a community that does not only exist of Ross and David to do the work (I just finished a similar mail to the user ml).
