It's probably too late now, but I wouldn't mind helping out with maintaining HTrace and pushing it towards graduation, if there's still others willing to stay involved (ASF requires 3 minimum). I've already been helping downstream, packaging HTrace for Fedora, and would like to see it continue. Does anybody know what will happen to HTrace if/when this vote passes? I'm not sure, but I don't think there's a lot of interest in rebooting cloudtrace in Accumulo, but maybe it will revert to its former GitHub presence? Is there a current plan?
