The Apache Attic [0] enables the current PPPMC to retire HTrace but also enables almost ANYONE to initiate the pprocess of leaving the Attic again. The options are - Forking the project - we'll link to any forks which have been created so please let us know - Restarting the community in the Apache Incubator - Recreating a PMC for the project Right now however, if the mentoring members of HTrace were to entirely disperse e.g. Jake Farrell, Todd Lipcon, Andrew Purtell, Billie Rinaldi, Michael Stack and me, then I think that HTrace would most likely fall into the state where it would join the group of projects whose PMC are unable to muster 3 votes for a release, who have no active committers or are unable to fulfill their reporting duties to the board. The simple fact is that until this very point in time, HTrace has been unable to demonstrably grow community. In hindsight, we should have possibly drafted a graduation proposal after the preious release however that is now in the past and cannot be undone. Lewis [0] https://attic.apache.org/
